Qualifications & Experiences
Having spent 20+ years in the commodities sector, currently Senior Credit Risk Manager for a Global Commodities Supply & Trading business, I’ve had the opportunity to work in multiple global set ups across a diverse set of disciplines in Sales, Finance, Risk & Trading, distributing my time and development across different countries, different level of teams and projects, being fully immersed in different cultures and working up and downstream in each capacity to make operations the most efficient they could be.
I have managed a growing team within the Renewables sector for a number of years, covering Commercial Electricity Supply, worked in trading teams delivering top quality training and coaching to my team and across projects to meet the desired objectives, to grow and develop the operations in the companies themselves to reach the next level of targets set.
Growing the team with confidence in the business was key and a necessity to then make a collaborative effort to develop and create efficient systems used. I used my way of working with my team members to stabilise and evolve the Credit Risk department within the Smartestenergy and Marubeni Global Risk Management Group. I took huge pleasure in coaching, nurturing talent and helping my team specifically, to develop in their overall processes, collaborating across departments to create the most robust and efficient teams and operations to achieve the #2 Supplier in volume for the UK Commercial Supply industry with the lowest insolvency/loss ratios for customers.
I learnt over time, by focusing on the individuals in the team and understanding their goals and ambitions, I was able to successfully coach them towards their goals, making the team stronger, more productive and most importantly, in the most robust mindset and with the motivation to achieve their goals in and out of business as a daily constant.
In addition to my core responsibilities in securing/retaining clients and managing complex programmes to grow the EMEA and North American division for Bleum (Shanghai),
I have continued to build upon this experience with my accreditations in coaching and have had the pleasure to work with a number of individuals over the course of their careers to enable them to work smarter, be more productive and feel more satisfied in their personal and business circumstances to operate at the highest levels. My personal ambition is to collaborate constantly with people/businesses/teams to achieve their goals and as I continue to work with all people, I aspire to continue learning to ensure I deliver the best techniques, methods and coaching to my clients, building on what I have already utilised to receive successful testimonials from people in and out of business who have achieved their desired goals.
