About

I have driven client relationship success for over 25 years. Key contributing factors to that have been my deep understanding of our clients' business needs and my ability to bring together consulting and technology services to deliver client business outcomes. My industry focus is across manufacturing, particularly asset-heavy industries such as Chemicals, Industrial Gases and Oil & Gas. While client success remains at the heart of my work, it is the people around me that make work rewarding. I take great pride in the exceptional teams I've been part of and find genuine satisfaction in helping elevate team performance. My leadership style centers on empathy and inclusiveness, and I am always refining my perspective to embody and propagate these values.
