Über mich

I am really proud to be leading Concentric on the next stage of its evolution. The business has great people, an enviable global customer base and high quality products. Concentric is very well positioned to meet competitive challenges, achieve profitable growth and support our customers on their electrification journey towards a carbon-neutral world. I have an international outlook and have lived and worked in various countries. I am multi-lingual, have a well-developed understanding of cultural issues in business and regard myself as a global citizen. I surround myself with talented teams drawn from diverse backgrounds and outlooks and know the value of hiring for difference (to me) in skills and experience, but always seek out alignment in areas such as customer focus, positive attitude, continuous improvement and flexibility.
