Looking at our strategic direction, financial management (budgeting, financial forecasting, P&amp;L, etc), people management, local sales and marketing, talent acquisition, retention and performance management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I'm an enthusiastic, positive and high impact leader with a proven ability to inspire high performing teams. I have over 15 years experience across general management, solutions focused sales, operations, finance and workforce solutions within multinational businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What I love:<\/strong> communicating and connecting with my colleagues and our clients to create the ultimate partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I'm good at: <\/strong>future-focused thinking, streamlining business operations, driving growth and inspiring high-performing sales teams. I have demonstrated experience in creating a client-centric approach along with implementing financial controls, productivity improvements and change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What inspires me:<\/strong> my team, results, high energy, a growth mindset and positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is my leadership style:<\/strong> I like to lead with integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and gratitude. I'm passionate, energetic, genuine and decisive and I look to establish a strong rapport with all of our staff both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are my strengths: <\/strong>a deep understanding of the APAC region, identifying opportunities for growth, strategy, storytelling, people and culture and P&amp;L management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who I am outside of work: <\/strong>a partner, a very hands-on mum to three amazing tiny humans and fur pawrent to the world's laziest border collie! As someone with a ridiculous (and somewhat annoying) amount of energy, I can usually be found at the gym, the beach, on a trampoline, soccer field or on a climbing frame hoping to out-energise my kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe
