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.
