MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT · INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER

Turning complex problems into clear, workable decisions.

I work across strategy, organization and transformation, project & programme management, operations, cost modelling and data analysis — combining an engineering mindset with practical consulting judgement.

Strategy & Organization Project & Programme Management Operations & Process Design Cost Modelling & Regulatory Analysis Data & Statistical Analysis

PROFILE

Consulting judgement grounded in engineering discipline.

I combine 25+ years of management consulting, industrial engineering and operational leadership across strategy, process transformation, cost modelling, supply chain, data analysis and complex project delivery.

My work is typically at the point where business decisions need technical depth: defining the problem precisely, structuring evidence, designing the right analytical or engineering approach and translating the result into something that can be implemented and defended.
