Julie moved from retail to a number of senior roles in an international FMCG corporation, including sales, marketing, customer management and finance positions. Here she gained first hand experience of managing large scale changes, which impacted heavily in the areas of supply chain, finance and HR. These were major projects, carrying major risks, including the outsourcing of global support functions and consolidation of manufacturing sites. Unexpected events, both during normal business hours and whilst implementing the projects frequently put pressure on the company’s best laid plans to deliver ‘business as normal’ to its customers. The experience and insights she gained in these projects led her to specialise in the area of risk and crisis management. |
