I Build the Operations
That Others Inherit.
Supply chain and aftermarket operations leader. 30 years. 8 industries. The person organisations call when the asset base is large, the margin is leaking, and someone needs to establish order.
Aftermarket margin is the most under-managed asset in any organisation.
Every organisation that sells a physical product accumulates an installed base. Machines in the field. Fleets on the road. Assets under service contracts. Over time, the margin built into the original sale begins to leak — into grey markets, untracked inventory, fragmented service operations, and unmonitored lifecycle events.
I recover that margin. Not as a consultant with a framework to leave behind — as an operator who builds the team, the system, and the governance, and runs it.
My domain is aftermarket and installed base lifecycle management. My instrument is supply chain transformation. The outcome, whether for a corporate or a PE-backed portfolio company, is the same: recovered revenue, reduced working capital, and operations that can be handed over in better shape than they were found.
Global aftermarket parts supply chain across four enterprise technology business units. 250-person team built from scratch. Simultaneous 20% inventory reduction and 75% service level improvement.
Cloud supply chain SaaS practice taken from zero in 15 months. 40% YoY growth. Built across Anaplan, Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, and o9 — working with PE portfolio companies across three continents.
A construction fleet running on whiteboards and phone calls, rebuilt into a real-time telematics control tower. The PDO Safety Award was a consequence of operational discipline, not a goal in itself.
Thirty years. One problem.
The installed base. The lifecycle tail. The aftermarket margin that organisations sell once and then let drift.

Let's Talk.
Open to Director and above roles in supply chain, aftermarket operations, and lifecycle management. If you are building something in one of these geographies and need someone who has done this before — in the field, not just in a slide deck — I would like to hear from you.
