Beginning my career as a qualified diesel fitter and progressing through engineering and executive leadership roles, I combine practical field experience with strategic capability. I hold a Bachelor of Technology (Mechanical Engineering) and a Master of Engineering Management, grounding my leadership in both operational detail and long-term business strategy. My focus is on building trusted relationships, enabling innovation, and driving sustainable growth — for our customers, our people, and the broader industry. I am passionate about developing high-performing teams, delivering lifecycle value, and positioning our technology to support the next generation of mining.
