As a pragmatic, organised individual, I love the challenges that working within Plant Launch brings. I am an excellent communicator who thrives within a fast-paced dynamic working environment who is capable of bringing people onside and delivering team objectives on time. With experience gained from multiple programmes & different departments I have the ability to adapt quickly & think creatively as part of a team. Working cross functionally internally & externally has enabled me to understand the end to end processes of delivering a programme & the holistic view on the life cycle of a customer vehicle.
