I combine deep technical grounding with full commercial accountability. As Managing Director I hold full P&L and know the value chain from the shop floor up, from steelmaking to the type-approved railway component. Steel and metals, safety-critical manufacturing. International where it counted, from China through Europe to the USA, as the escalation point in negotiations. Cost of quality and lead times down, delivery reliability up.
