About
As the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Orica, it is a great privilege to lead our global team of more than 13,000 colleagues as they support the responsible production of resources everyday which help lift standards of living and drive economic growth around the world.
Orica is the world’s largest provider of commercial explosives and innovative blasting systems to the mining, quarrying, oil and gas and construction industries. We are also a leading supplier of sodium cyanide for gold extraction, and a specialist provider of ground support services in mining and tunnelling.
Before joining Orica in July 2020, I have spent 30 years in the chemical industry and 26 years with BASF SE, the worlds leading chemical company in various senior management positions in India, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Most recently, I was a Member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE and Head of Asia Pacific as well as Head of the Global Chemicals Segment (Intermediates & Petrochemicals) based out of Hong Kong. Leading a workforce of more than 18,500 people across 19 countries in Asia, 125 production sites and 140 sales offices, we were accountable for the delivery of €13.3 billion in revenue, and €1 billion in EBIT in 2019.
Having spent my first seven months in Orica running the Australia Pacific Asia business, I have gained deep insight into the business and the organisation. I am very impressed by the capabilities and commitment of the Orica Team and, together with my Executive Team, I look forward to further strengthening our market leading position. I am confident that we will be able to achieve this by maintaining our proud traditions of market leadership, innovation, quality and safety.
