Aug 2013 - Jul 2015
As former CEO for Gravity Crane Services (GCS), not only was I responsible for the key organisational functions such as safety/environmental accountability, strategic planning, improved service delivery, community/indigenous interaction and commercial performance but also on the further enhancement of our ever growing GCS "brand". With assistance from my enthusiastic, passionate and talented staff, we not only managed to gain significant market share in the iron ore space but additionally increased both revenue and bottom line profit as a consequence in spite of falling commodity prices and increased market competition. My tenure at GCS was both highly enjoyable and productive and only came to an end due to pending changes in business ownership.
