In three words, I would describe myself as authentic, passionate, and a family-man.
My biggest professional achievement has been helping my teams realize their potential.
I have reached where I am today by being part of fantastic teams.
A typical day for me is diverse and ever-changing. Most of my time is spent at ‘Gemba’ with distributors and customers, or working with my team on short-term improvement priorities and long-term strategic initiatives.
One of the highlights of my company’s history, in my opinion, was being acquired by Danaher and subsequently embracing the Danaher business system.
I predict that the food industry will need to provide increased transparency regarding the origin of its products and incorporate track and trace technologies to earn the trust of consumers in the next 12 months.
The most important attributes for a leader, in my opinion, are the ability to “walk the talk.”
I most admire people who never give up on their dreams.
Right now, Danaher and its platform’s leadership are the ones to watch, as they are a fantastic source of inspiration to me.
Words that I tend to overuse include winning, celebrating, and people.
If I weren’t in my current position, I would likely be a teacher.
One interesting fact about me is that I enjoy cooking.
As for vices, I have a weakness for Spanish ham pata negra.
The single thing that would most improve the quality of my life is less traveling.
To relax, I enjoy jogging in Hyde Park.
When it comes to how I would like to be remembered, I prefer to be seen as an enabler rather than seeking the spotlight.
