I am a business manager with over a decade of experience in general management of an SME. As Managing Director for my existing company, I have been ultimately acocuntable for the administration and operations departments and the running thereof. With 20 staff under me, I have needed to lead and motivate as part of my daily role in the company as well as ensuring the efficient running of the departments from a financial and operational point of view. Because I am a scientist by training, in addition to general management, I always enjoy a technical function as well as problem-solving in the business. However, the variation involved in general management is what motivates me. It doesn't matter the product or the service, I relish the challenge of running an operation.
