PROFILE
My career has led me to specialize increasingly in the management of complex multi-cultural projects and
their staffs at international levels. I have experience in: strategic forward-planning; operating within the tight
financial disciplines imposed by ambitious budgets which I have helped to plan; methodical administration to
deadlines (not to speak of crisis management where necessary); and the application of modern leadership
methods (through staff motivation and involvement in both decision-making and target-setting, clarity in
communication, and easy personal inter-relations). My own cosmopolitan background and analytical
interests in other cultures, together with a command of several European languages, have also left me
confident in handling negotiations that require the reconciliation of different national approaches to otherwise
common problems.

Tested management techniques in both continental and British contexts
Proven leadership and human management skills
