As a senior executive with over 36 years’ executive management, leadership and governance experience in the aviation and aerospace sectors, I can draw on personal knowledge and proficiency gained at executive management, shareholder and board levels. I was originally trained in classical mechanical engineering and advanced to an aeronautical design discipline and eventually into  management roles. My expertise combines core engineering and business training which is readily translated into practical and real life results acquired in many international settings from Australasia, the Middle East and Europe. During my journey, I have experienced both good and poor leadership, governance and execution with value destroying consequences.  I consider these experiences provide me a deep understanding of the drivers of success. By combining great leadership, sound and ethical governance practices, and a cultural understanding  thoughtful and thorough strategic analysis meaningful change management, consistent delivery and exceptional value creation can be achieved.
