About

I get brought into complex, multi-geography businesses to fix what's broken, build what's missing, and make the whole thing worth more. At Fosroc, I did all three, and it ended with a $1B sale to Saint-Gobain. Over ten years, I took a fragmented 21-company group ($500M revenue) and built the functions, teams, and systems it needed to operate as one company. I established group-wide IT, legal, governance, and strategy functions across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and India, building and developing the teams to run each one. I ran the sell-side process and led the deal team. Post-acquisition, I was appointed Chief Integration Officer and led the $54M integration programme, delivering $21.8M in synergies across 12 global workstreams. I run operations, not just transformations. When regions
