Background
Major Accomplishments
A skilled Chief Executive and Director with over 25 years experience in such roles, resulting in a proven track record of achieving strong outcomes in building successful businesses. I have achieved this through establishing a clear vision, developing and executing sound strategy and creating teams where people can grow to be the best that they can be.
Committed to aspirational performance levels in all
aspects of business, developing staff, and promoting excellence in customer engagement. Experienced internationally, in terms of business development, leadership and governance. Hands-on experience in large corporates, start-ups, the cooperative business model and charitable trust leadership.
My goal is to contribute to the development of businesses
in an Executive capacity, either in a long term role or to
lead a short term interventional review or change, or as
a Non-Executive Board Member, especially where I can make a strategic contribution, and where there is a vision and commitment to build robust businesses with strong performance.
I have a business called Miro Partners, which is focussed
on helping companies raise their performance, through improved Leadership, Vision, Strategy and Execution.
