Bio
After working with Geoff over the last few years I have found him to be a man with great drive and focus. He has an uncanny knack of getting to the core of issues quickly and articulating what is required to move forward. In addition he does it all with a smile and possitive attitude. His supply chain and general business knowledge is comprehensive. I wish him every success in the future!
I would like to recommend Geoff Grisolds work in the process re-engineering he had established within Accounts Payable and also the Corporate Card Management operations at his time in Orica. Having replaced Geoff (after he had moved into a Project role within Orica), it was evident that significant Strategic planning and continuous improvement initiatives had been commenced to drive value to the business within AP. A number of subsequent improvements that were driven and progressed would not have been possible without the ground work from Geoff. I would recommend Geoff as he has clear Strategic vision, as well as having a solid and broad experience base to which can be levereged in a consultancy capacity.
