As a former senior navy officer, I have over three decades experience in Defence working in operations, capability development, acquisition and investment analysis. And now, winning and sustaining hi-tech defence business is my strength. Unabashedly non-technical, but immodest about my ability to operationally integrate hi-tech concepts in to an Defence environment where capability is king, I help companies with Defence market entry.
My Services.
Companies that seek ARDworks’ Defence expertise in Australia are:
-
Foreign firms seeking market entry, or
-
Australian firms seeking market entry
-
Australian firms aiming to become an exporter.
As Market Entry specialists, ARDworks supports SMEs, OEMs or Primes win business in the Defence & National Security Sector.
Entering the Defence Market in a foreign country (here or overseas) has its tough, but not insurmountable challenges. It's complex, but achievable.
We know it's tough because we do it daily - and it's the easiest thing to advise - that's why we follow through and implement the advice we give.
We work collaboratively and energetically with you to match your value proposition with a need, or perhaps work to develop that need.
We can do this because of our deep knowledge, high level networks and extensive experience within the Defence sector.
As a former senior navy officer, I have over three decades experience in Defence working in operations, capability development, acquisition and investment analysis. And now, market entry into Australian defence business is my strength. Unabashedly non-technical, but immodest about my ability to operationally integrate hi-tech concepts in to an Defence environment where capability is king, I help companies with Defence market entry. I solve the problems other people aren’t working on.
An energetic and inspiring leader, I build momentum and opportunity, because if it smells like leadership, teamwork and achievement, I’m there.
I have a reputation for being pragmatic and ‘can-do’. What sets me apart is my drive and steadfastness, and an entrepreneurial outlook. I have an established influential network amongst decision makers in Government and Commercial sectors.
My success in Defence Market Entry comes from being a senior executive and operator founded on an early career as a professional warfare and navigation specialist, ship captain - thrice, and have successfully expanded into commercial and private sector enterprises.
To do all the above I focus on people – I understand that business success is directly proportional to human collaboration and I love turning big, ugly problems into successful market entry through great teamwork.
