Superintendent Supply Chain Improvement — BHP (previously Manager at Accenture)


Thierry was y manager at Roy Hill between October 2017 and December 2019. Initially I reported to Thierry as Supervisor of the Operational Applications Support team and then as Superintendent of the same team. Thierry has been one of the best managers I have reported to in my career. He provided clear expectations as to what was required of me and maintained clear communication lines as he cascaded relevant information down to me from the senior management team. I enjoyed my weekly "one on one" with Thierry as he took time to listen to the issues I was raising and provided very practical advice and coaching lessons. Thierry is a very pragmatic leader and often took led by example when the team was dealing with high pressure situations. During these times he maintained a cool head as he directed us to find the solution in a systematic fashion. Thierry is also the kind of leader who was extremely supportive of me and my team and I felt like he had my back if I took a calculated risk which did not work out as planned. I found Thierry to be very sociable and I would describe him as a real people's person. I found Thierry to be very likeable and great at developing professional and personal relationships with his colleagues and other business acquaintances. I value the time I worked under Thierry and would certainly do so again.
