About you
My academic strength has always been in applied mathematics. I studied at Imperial College, London firstly for a degree in Civil Engineering, followed by a masters in Management Science. After university, I joined a management consultancy practice and spent seven years travelling around the world undertaking operational research and supply chain assignments. In 1987, I founded Model Logic and since then have worked with blue chip clients in the food, drink, pharmaceutical, building materials and cash logistics sectors. I have worked for clients all along the supply chain including, retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and raw materials suppliers. Some projects have involved reviewing vertical and horizontal collaboration opportunities within the supply chain.
I lecture on supply chain issues at NITL, currently covering modules on “Strategic Network Design” and “Carbon Footprint in the Supply Chain”.
As well as working for clients in the UK, I have extensive experience of working in Ireland. I provide supply chain consultancy support to Bord Bia (Irish Food Board) and am a member of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce.
I am a keen golfer and skier, although in both sports my KPI’s are on a downward trend.
