Biography
I was searching for a line function in process, chemical or heavy industry where I could put in practice my school learning. From the first visit to a Holcim cement plant, I was impressed and keen to join - I felt there was a real life to be had there. Today, 17 years later, I am responsible for managing a plant, from the quarry to the dispatch lorry, ensuring that safety quality and environmental results are competitive. It's also my role to manage the long-term plant development by looking for business opportunities and mitigating the risk on operations. This role needs dynamism and confidence to ensure all the employees and stakeholders are on board. I need to have a good understanding in both technical and management fields to lead the plant in the right direction. To strengthen my knowledge and experience I have completed several Holcim programs, including the Cement Course, the Cement Manufacturing Seminar and several others.
