Summary
Entrepreneurial C-level Executive with over two decades of global technology, media and telecoms leadership, commercial deal brokering, market building and strategy development. I have been repeatedly called on to restructure, transform and expand operations to establish double-digit growth and profitability in challenging European environments. Through collaboration with Board members, shareholders and investors, I translate vision and values into roadmaps and propositions that realise excellence in service quality, customer retention and satisfaction. I thrive in challenging environments, building on existing strengths, capabilities and cultures to add value and commercial benefit. I consistently achieve sustainable change and have a reputation for establishing scalable, resilient and fit-for-purpose organisational structures that elevate consumer engagement and experience. One of my key strengths is that I appreciate the ‘big picture’, as well as the fine detail, and this enables me to see through the noise. I quickly identify and resolve complex problems and prioritise actions to achieve and exceed business requirements, and deliver high shareholder value and return on investment. I am passionate about people development and relationship management, and have gained a reputation for recruiting and coaching key talent. I build, direct and mentor high performance multidisciplinary teams that penetrate and capture new market opportunities, and maintain strategic advantages. My enjoyment comes from working with like-minded and focused people, and building cohesive teams that develop innovative and disruptive solutions that optimise commercial risk and maximise revenue generation. I am always interested in starting conversations with those who want to know more about business, operations, sales and marketing strategy, and how to combine effective execution with employee engagement and resource development to accomplish short-, medium- and long-term goals.
