Biography

Most of my career has been spent working at the RS Group (previously RS Components/ Electrocomponents). During my 18 years with the group, I have spent most of my time in IT and Enterprise PMOs working on Strategic deployment and execution. Throughout my career I have been able to develop my CI knowledge and qualifications via on the job yellow, green and blackbelt projects and certification. In 2017 I was introduced to the LCS. I was seconded to work on a Lean Transformation of the Innovation Function at RS and from there I have been able to achieve my LCS Level 2A and I am now in the final stages of Level 3. During the Level 3 assignment my research has focussed on Customer Value and how we can predict that for the future of our organisation. This area really interests me as well as what the future of Lean will look like.
