I am a retired businessperson engaged full-time in the management of a family office, focused on governance, financial, and strategic investment planning. I have a comprehensive set of skills derived from creating a start-up company in 1981 and developing it into a scalable national business, providing financial solutions and leasing facilities for a diverse range of fully maintained industrial equipment. The majority of our clients were multinationals. My ultimate success was demonstrated by an expressed interest from AMP Capital to buy my company in 2006. Following due diligence, AMP Capital successfully purchased the company.
As the owner and Managing Director of DFS Holdings for over twenty-five years, I developed strong leadership and communication skills. I was responsible for financial management control and budget forecasting. I led and supported a team of senior management, enabling them to collectively and collaboratively maximize individual performances. I was proactive in promotional and marketing campaigns. I successfully demonstrated mid- to long-term strategic planning across a raft of operational disciplines. I gained invaluable networking skills with peers and clients in national professional organizations.
