Most performance problems are not effort problems — they are system design problems.
I work with organisations to redesign operating systems so that transparency, accountability, and scalability are built into the structure — not dependent on individual heroics.
Across pharma, industrial manufacturing, and automotive supply environments, I have led transformations involving:
- Post-merger integration and technology transfer
- ERP-enabled operating model redesign
- Multi-site production system deployment
- Flow optimisation in regulated systems
- Lean Six Sigma capability architecture
Different industries. Different constraints.
The pattern remains the same:
When systems are unclear, complexity grows and performance degrades.
When structure, ownership, and decision logic are designed deliberately, performance stabilises and scales.
My Approach
I sequence transformation deliberately:
- Stabilise the system
- Clarify ownership and decision standards
- Create visibility and accountability
- Optimise flow
- Automate only what is already stable
Technology amplifies structure.
It does not replace it.
Leadership & Governance
My roles have included:
- Steering Committee member in multi-site production system roll-outs (Bayer)
- Change Manager & Program Deployment Leader across acquired and integrated sites
- Lean Six Sigma Champion governing an enterprise improvement portfolio
- Product Owner for ERP-enabled operating model transformation
- Project lead for release and deviation system redesign in regulated pharma
I have worked closely with executive teams, CFO-level financial governance, and cross-functional operational leadership.
Capability & Education
- Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt
- Executive education in Leadership & Change Management (MIT)
- MSc. Industrial Engineering
- Executive MBA
- Extensive experience embedding improvement systems tied to measurable financial impact
Improvement must be structured, governed, and financially accountable to endure.
Closing
I am particularly interested in complex environments where:
- Variability is high
- Accountability is blurred
- Systems need redesign rather than acceleration
Because in those environments, structure makes the difference.
