Your experience?
Initially trained as a geologist, I have spent over 40 years in the education sector. The first 16 years I worked as a teacher and school leader in the SA Department for Education. I established ASC in 1996 and have seen the business grow from a sole operator to a team of more than 25 staff and contractors.
What is your role at ASC?
As Managing Director, I believe my role is to let our highly capable ASC team members get on with their work without getting in their way. Alongside that I work closely with our CEO, Sharon Ayris, to work on strategy and operations. A satisfying and enjoyable aspect of my work involves a lot of conversations over coffee with talented and like-minded people across the training sector in SA and beyond.
How would you describe a job done well?
When a job is executed and meets, or better exceeds, client expectations.
One hidden talent?
Lover of rock music from the 60s to present. I still dabble as a guitarist, having played in pub bands over the years.
