A passion for business
Exceptional financial performance depends on excellence in creating and capturing value and inspiring one's teams to do the same. Innovative responses to consumer insights, inspiring communication and win-win negotiation have always been key drivers. Increasingly, daring, digital disruption and agile execution are the game-changers. The following pages are my visual CV which aims to illustrate my approach to strategy and execution*.
As an International Marketing and Sales Professional and Managing Director, I lead from the front-end of the business. My passion is to get the strategic thinking right, to create innovative new product roads, re-energise brands and to inspire global teams to negotiate intelligently in striving for business growth.
As markets are disrupted in the digital vortex, it is critical to remain at the cutting-edge of strategic thought. IMD is Europe's Harvard and at the very forefront of research and teaching on the subject of Digital Disruption, so I made it my goal to attend as many of their digital courses as possible. Leading Digital Business Transformation, Digital Supply Chain Management, Digital Strategy, Digital Execution and Transform Tech were all an ideal complement to their Executive MBA and the London Business School's Mergers & Acquisitions Diploma.
