Summary
With 20 years of experience is various industries, going from Medical (Horiba Abx), FMCG (Tegel) to Payments (Worldline NZ), I developed an extensive amount of knowledge in team leadership and diverse technologies by working on tech Strategies and optimize ways of working across the board. Lately, I have helped small companies during my free time to use digital tools to measure their throughput, stocks, Sales Forecast as well as their marketing campaigns. Moreover, I know how to create and manage budgets to ensure that expenses are relevant to the company expectations. I currently come to Auckland twice a week. Living in Rotorua, I would not mind spending time in Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga and make sure that any members of my team see me when needed.
