The word 'Engineering' is derived from the Latin word for 'Ingenuity' which simply means creative problem-solving.

The terms of 'Success' are unique to each individual but will ultimately be the progressive realisation of some ideal, desired outcome.

On some level, we all practise engineering in life, work and business.

I apply my skills to develop leaders and help them solve performance problems to achieve top-priority individual or organisational goals.

Career Journey, Qualifications and Certifications

I've been formally trained in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering with experience working across the Caribbean, Europe and North America.

I started my career in the role of Process Improvement Specialist following a Graduate Engineer Programme at one of the largest manufacturing conglomerates in the Caribbean.

As a prospective future General Manager in the group, I was fortunate to be trained and mentored by senior executives in all aspects of business operations, including Coca-Cola Business Systems.

Besides my entrepreneurial experience of building tech-driven businesses, I've also been awarded various global Business and Leadership Certifications, including the Maxwell Leadership Certification in 2013.

I naturally specialise in helping Engineering, Manufacturing and Technology companies but I've supported a range of other types of organisations including some in the Financial Services sector.

My expertise, network and resources allow me to help executives and senior business leaders cement their A-Game for sustained personal excellence in pursuit of leadership and operational excellence.

My background means that I also naturally excel at supporting the development of executives, emerging leaders and functional experts with STEM backgrounds or involvement (e.g. engineers, developers, scientists, designers, architects, economists), either directly via my public programmes or within organisations, to help them adjust and thrive in business leadership positions and master the people skills required to succeed beyond technical strengths and talents.

My 7 Master Keys To Success to Leading High-Performance

"An organisation will never outperform its leaders.

From personal experience, training and observations, I believe that the 'Modern Leader' must strive to excel in these key areas in order to drive top performance:

- DREAM PURPOSEFULLY of a vision and future destination worthy of pursuit;

- THINK PRACTICALLY of strategic ways to convert vision to reality;

- LEAD PEOPLE on a journey of growth towards that clear, inspiring vision;
- LEVERAGE PROCESSES to maximise productivity and minimise human failure;
- SUSTAIN PERFORMANCE of self and others to achieve human potential;
- SOLVE PROBLEMS by eliminating their root causes to prevent recurrence;

- BE PHILANTHROPIC to the benefit of humanity alongside profitability.

The fundamentals of leadership are timeless and unchanging. The art of their application must continuously evolve in the face of ever-changing realities.

I think the Modern Leader should strive to be both creative and critical, versed in multiple disciplines like the disruptors who shaped the Renaissance era."

ENGINEERS & EXPERTS

I began my career working as an engineering employee in the corporate world and was able to quickly advance to higher levels of managerial responsibility during that time.

Periodically, my work supports professionals who are serious about achieving career advancement by enhancing their leadership, business and professional abilities in order to realise their full potential.
