Technology

Huntsman

(Public Company; HUN; Chemicals industry)

1998 — 1999 (1 year )

This role dropped me in to the deep end of IT migration and transition, with my part of the I.C.I. company moving across to Huntsman. I met a lot of fantastic people there, and working with the highest levels of management taught me about the need to translate changes to technology into real business benefits.
