AMANDA, Principal Lead Consultant: “I have experienced many cultures across the world including superb opportunities to work in China and India as their cultures change and morph to meet global challenges.”
Amanda joined ABB in 1998 having held management positions in a variety of industrial sectors including metals, automotive and chemicals, with roles as diverse as application engineer to technical director.
“As a graduate metallurgist with post-graduate qualifications I have sought challenging career moves in engineering industries.
ABB gave me the opportunity to use my skills in consultancy work. The work since joining ABB has offered challenges and variety far above expectation with roles as diverse as global project management, interim site management, training and organisation design and deployment. I have experienced many cultures across the world including superb opportunities to work in China and India as their cultures change and morph to meet global challenges.
With significant training courses available, ABB encouraged me to train and become a trainer in many consultancy skills, such as facilitation, project management, contract management, organisation design, benchmarking and business assessment.
By working with teams on large projects and as an individual with clients worldwide, my consultancy skills have grown and ensured steady promotion through the consultancy route, from Consultant to Principal Lead Consultant, leading business development with key clients, managing contracts and contributing to the business direction and product development of ABB Global Consulting.”
