What others have to say about Tony


Partners


Having worked with Tony for the last two years, I can confirm that Tony is a highly effective Change Director. In particular, he has an ability to pull together, launch and effectively manage cross-functional teams. What sets him apart is his passion and energy, coupled with a pragmatic ability to get things done through others.

Most importantly, Tony delivers the goods by combining ‘big picture’ thinking with a relentless focus on the details of execution. Running big Transformation Programmes is Tony’s sweet spot - his high energy and perseverance, his ability to see ahead and recognize risks and blockages before they become a problem, and his personal integrity make him highly effective in these situations. I can wholeheartedly recommend Tony both from a professional and personal perspective.

Tony is a man of professional passion, skills, enviable experience and the ability to combine the potential sterility of programme management with that essential edge of emotional engagement. He brings rigour, energy and a pragmatic brain to bear whilst also enthusing those around him.
— Peter Leadbetter: Director People & Organisational Change, Ernst & Young
Tony has an outstanding ability to accomplish extraordinary results in tight time frames. Tony is a visionary and a ‘change junky.’ He has a knack for influencing others, particularly senior leaders, to take on challenging goals and finding ways to ‘make them happen.’ Tony understands the business case, the financial drivers, the political realities and the people side of change. As such, he really ‘gets’ that change is implemented by addressing the holistic organisation..people, process and systems.

Tony is fun to work with, yet demanding. He expects superior results and he gets them. Tony really understands how to drive sustainable results through large scale transformation efforts.

I worked with Tony at National Grid, where he was the Director for the Global Procurement Transformation programme. Tony quickly mobilised the programme, with all the necessary resources and drove the team to perform. He has a great ability to secure the talents required to drive a complex programme and his high energy levels ensured that there was constant progress on all fronts. He has a passion for engaging with people and made certain that key stakeholders stayed involved and aligned with the aims of the Procurement changes that we were driving. I would be very happy to work with Tony again.

As a business partner to Tony, during his time with National Grid, it was refreshing to work with someone with such clarity of vision and drive to get things done.

Tony worked in Asia helping to develop “ways of working” between some of our complex JV operations. As a result of Tony’s work we were able to get rid of a lot of corporate overload from the companies involved in the venture. This gave the CEO and his team the time to focus on the job - selling beer. The company in question was GAB in Malaysia and their share in the market has moved from, close number two, to, clear number one in the beer market. The company is listed on the KLSE and the results are on public record. I would recommend Tony to companies looking to transform their organisations.
