Some say that Ray entered business early on when he failed the fitness test to be a Fireman!

His progress to where he is today has been colourful, from Bartender to Accountant (don’t hold that against him) to senior management. No stone has been unturned.

His background covers a wide range of roles from the very hands on to senior management in businesses both very small to the very large.

Ray’s also had some pretty fancy titles over the years: Sales Manager, Business Unit Manager, General Manager, Finance Manager, Regional Director and more recently Mergers and Acquisitions Manager…. But at the heart of things Ray is good with business and people and excels as a trainer and coach. With over 30 years’ experience he is no spring chicken, but still brings the energy to embrace change and reinvigorate workplaces with new ideas, strategies and skills.

Engaging with all levels of people is his strength, allowing him to tailor communication to the audience. Whether interacting with senior management, sales professionals or operational leaders, he can appeal to their individual and specific group challenges and aspirations.

Ray’s style is open and communicative – dictating material to a keen audience is not his style. If you are in a training session with Ray, expect to be involved, challenged and to take away tangible outcomes. If it is consulting time you have with Ray expect the norm to be questioned and dared – he’ll throw down the gauntlet if you say ‘ that’s how we always do it’.

Ray’s coaching contribution is primarily to leaders early in their careers and middle management and leaders facing challenges such as Staff and Client Retention, and or Gross Margin erosion.

Ray’s value as a consultant comes when engaged to advise on Business Improvement, Sales Management, M&A transitions, Organisational Change and Transformation.
