Process Excellence Master Black Belt, Rolls-Royce PLC

I enjoy finding creative and successful solutions to what are perceived to be unsolvable problems.
I have studied and applied Lean and 6-Sigma approaches in transactional, technical and manufacturing environments. This involves customer focus, a 'can-do' attitude, and a diverse toolset to find, implement, and institutionalize the winning solution.
I get immense pleasure from developing others and seeing my teams mature - whether it be through a training class or an individual project review.
