For over 25 years, I have focused my career on enabling transformation and shaping futures, whether in industry or academia. Thank you for browsing through this generative website, reflecting the course of my development, skills, and experiences to date. As a proponent of the future of work driven by advancing technologies, listing past roles, achievements and experiences, however impactful, does not define the future. 

Now, more than ever, we need skills that can manage in an unpredictable age, The global pandemic was widely forecasted by health experts. Organizations that had prepared for the pandemic found their efforts were only as good as the weakest link in the overall supply chain. 

My deep professional curiosity lies in cultivating possibilities and potentials yet to be realized, and to create a state of readiness for an unpredictable future, I call this pure strategy.

As an operations manager in the Life Sciences sector, I led initiatives to reinvent processes, cultivate new capabilities and reimagine ways of working to drive innovation. I always seek to build upon success by questioning assumptions, challenging norms and envisioning new pathways forward. I have been fortunate enough in my career to lead and manage multi-million dollar processes employing hundreds of people, coupled with the reward of mentoring young people in small classes through their career choices. At the core of these endeavours, there is always the potential of the human condition that responds profoundly to the enhancement of dignity in the workplace. 

I am deeply experienced in managing change and transformation as the assigned project manager charged with overall responsibility to ensure project success. In my role as an educator on transformation management and strategy, I strive to equip students with the mindsets and toolkits needed to thrive amidst disruption. The best management theories are not static concepts, but dynamic forces continually reshaped by emerging technologies, business models and societal shifts. 

I look forward to leveraging my continual learning to help organizations transform and individuals progress. My skill set lies not in past achievements alone, but in an understanding of the interplay between legacy strengths and future possibilities. If we wish to shape tomorrow, we must start by managing the optimized present. I am always seeking new challenges where I can apply strategic foresight, build innovative solutions and enable others to create their own futures. Ultimately, the potential of any future leader lies in their personal philosophy, that which defines them as an individual character and the value traits that they bring to their work. 

The first fundamental about managing the future is to secure the present. This is a simple concept, you need good management before you can foster great leadership. I come from a practical world of management with consequences. Decisions you make impact, people, process, and performance. Certainly, when asked about my skill set as a value add proposition I talk about my skills and experience in the following areas: Leadership Skills, Process Optimization, Technology Integration, Problem-Solving, Communications, Risk Management, Deep Metrics, Continuous Creation, People Collaboration, and Vision Setting. It is on the pure strategic level that sustainable challenges and opportunities are to be found. It is in the optimized present that the organization secures the future. 

Thank You,
