What I'm looking for

I seek a role that challenges me to drive growth and innovation while fostering a collaborative team environment.

As a seasoned General Manager with over 15 years of experience, I have successfully led diverse teams and driven significant improvements across logistics, supply chain, and operations management. My strategic vision and ability to implement effective business strategies have resulted in remarkable revenue growth and enhanced profitability for organizations.

At Dream Courts, I spearheaded a 250% increase in sales within two years, demonstrating my capability to turn around underperforming businesses. My tenure at Bollore Logistics Australia further solidified my expertise in optimizing operations, where I achieved an 18% revenue increase through innovative service offerings and productivity enhancements.

I am passionate about developing people and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. My strong negotiation skills and experience in union negotiations have allowed me to implement cost-saving measures while maintaining a motivated workforce. I am committed to leveraging my skills to drive organizational success and create lasting value.
