Expertise
I like to describe myself as a highly driven and motivated individual, I’m passionate about everything I do, my wife likes to blame that on the mixed Anglo/Welsh/Greek heritage but for me it’s the inherent competitiveness that makes me strive to be the best, after all I’m even competitive at scrabble!!! Being driven is great and achieves many things but drive without focus is simply a wasted journey, working within and running/managing a strong team is key. I’ve spent many years playing, what for me, is the ultimate team game, Rugby (which I now coach) and quite simply without a game plan, without structure, coordination and commitment the whole game falls apart. I have spent the last 30 years running product development teams, working in many different market sectors, helping clients bring products to market, this activity has spanned the entire R&D process from concept, through NPI to full volume production. Most of these developments have been multi-disciplined and whether they have embraced hardware, firmware, software, mechanical and/or electronic factors, these have been with both internal and external partners. Add to this the requirement to sell the entire R&D service to the client (either internal or external) then the key strength I have brought has been the ability to communicate and work successfully with the client, understand and harness their requirements, translate that into a strong and clear development plan and guide the R&D team through this to successful delivery. I believe that I am a true team player and whether working within a start-up organisation or in the high-profile world of the Space Industry and Formula One, I am comfortably at home.
