​​

I am proud to help organisations achieve operational excellence by identifying and eliminating waste, improving and streamlining processes, enhancing customer satisfaction, and increasing efficiency and effectiveness. I'm thorough and diligent in my work with integrity, strong self-motivation and commitment to high quality.

 

AstraZeneca is where I began my Process Improvement journey when I delivered my first Improvement Projects and earned Lean Six Sigma Black Belt accreditation. I went on to Rolls Royce Aerospace, working as a Business Improvement Leader and then as a Supply Chain Head of Improvement, again receiving Lean Six Sigma accreditation.

​

I have delivered significant improvements in both transactional and manufacturing processes. I now focus exclusively in office-based and transactional environments and can share my experience and learning from a variety of sectors including Aerospace, Automotive, Defence, Medical Device Regulations, Pharmaceuticals, Publishing, Social Housing, Soft Services, Steel and Not for Profit.

 

I'm equally adept at delivering training and mentoring, or providing technical advice, strategic thinking, project coordination and facilitation. I have significant experience in Process Mapping, often including complex Stakeholder Management. 

 

My scientific training and background give me strong critical thinking and problem solving skills and I also have line management and cross-functional project leadership experience.

Here are some selected comments from my personal recommendations:
