Experienced consultant specialising in delivering operational improvement through Business Process Re-Engineering across all industry sectors with specialisation in Supply Chain & Logistics.
I have twelve years of consulting experience, of which six were in a “Big 4 (KPMG Consulting).” My consulting experience is backed by over eleven years solid practical grounding gained in a retail (FMCG) distribution role with a FTSE 100 company as a manager involved in large Regional Distribution Centre start-ups and supporting business development activities. I have an excellent understanding of the total end to end supply chain, including supporting and enabling technologies.
I have worked in a number of European countries including a one year assignment in Germany as an independent and my experience extends to both the private and public sector with considerable number of engagements in the Defence sector.
I have practical experience of structured project management methodologies having used my firm’s internal methodology and having developed custom methodologies to suit unique client and project needs.
I am fully mobile and willing to work almost anywhere.
