MCALPINE HUSSMANN
EXECUTIVE PROFILE : Calum Laird
Title : Supply Chain Transition Manager Location : Auckland , New Zealand
236
My background is varied across a range of supply chain areas from backend retail procurement , inventory management through FMCG , construction sectors and service provider in specialized third party logistics . Over the past 20 years the desire for continuous improvement , business growth and development has built my foundations to ensure that where my career bases me sees the supply chain as an efficient enabler of sales . Right now that base is McAlpine Hussmann .
Outside of the office I am a keen BMX rider that despite the occasional visit to hospital services , has been a lifelong passion . I speak some almost tolerable Portuguese at a basic conversation level , Portuglish to my wife and in-laws . I ’ m always keen to learn from and about people , over coffee or drinks in all sorts of environments , our stories and histories are all as interesting and unique as those they belong to .
A spirit of supporting others features heavily in my life having consulted to non-profit organisations and getting involved in community based projects locally . Equally as comfortable in boots and oilskin fixing fences as I am in a boardroom there is a diverse range to the way I live .
Chances are if we ’ ve worked hard together , I ’ ll offer you a cold beer and a laugh .
