About Maggie.

 About me.

Maggie Dog.jpg

I view life as a continuous journey of learning and experience. As an ardent enthusiast of the outdoors and all things fitness every challenge I encounter on my path presents an opportunity to use muscles that I developed either in similar circumstances previously or an opportunity to build new ones required in the situation.

I recall my two successful attempts at making it to the summit of Mount Kenya in my twenties. This was in support of a charitable cause that I was passionate about to help raise funds for _____________________ in Kenya. The experiences were defining moments for me as it became apparent that no matter how fit my comrades and I were, at some point it was truly a matter of mind over matter.

Since then every time I have encountered a seemingly insurmountable problem I always take a step back and ask myself: what set of muscles does the situation require?  Once I have found the answer I smile knowing that I will be back strengthening muscles I already acquired in a similar situation or developing new ones to navigate the current. 

Experience.

I bring a rich bend of commercial and strategy expertise spanning 20 years honed from the beverage, FMCG, and pharmaceutical industries as well as the development sector.  I have demonstrable capability of managing teams in geographically dispersed locations. Driven by an insatiable appetite for learning and pioneering approaches that promote business and team growth I have developed the art of managing effectively partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.
