CEO Message
I am honored and excited to continue my dedication to the AINDT community as the new CEO. As I step into this role, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the warm welcome and the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated team.
First and foremost, I want to commend the remarkable work that AINDT has accomplished over the past 60 years. Your commitment to excellence in NDT and CM has established AINDT as a leader in the industry, and I am thrilled to be part of this journey.
I have lived and breathed NDT all my professional career and have been actively involved on a voluntary basis within NDT and materials related not-for-profit organisations for the past 20 years.
I have had experience at all levels within the industry spanning from academia, on-site technician work across Australia, technical management and been active behind the scenes of the AINDT for 10 years (branch level, federal level, board level, various certification board responsibilities and most recently as Federal President). This exposure to all aspects of the industry has provided an invaluable foundation with working with the AINDT for making strategic decisions and leading the overall operations.
As we embark on this new chapter together, I want to emphasize my unwavering commitment to our shared goals: education and training, to continue delivering outstanding certification and membership services, driving innovation, and exceeding customer expectations. Our commitment as an industry to maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and professionalism will remain at the core of everything we do.
I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and open communication. Your experience, expertise, knowledge, and insights are invaluable assets that will guide us towards new horizons. I encourage each and every one of you to actively participate, share your ideas, and contribute to our collective success. Together, we will create a path that leads to even greater achievements.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of NDT and CM, it is crucial for us to stay ahead of the curve and ensure longevity. We will embrace digital transformation, foster a culture of continuous professional development and learning and continue to deliver a premium certification and membership service. By doing so, we will continue to grow the NDT and CM community, adapt to industry trends, seize opportunities, and strengthen our position as a trusted partner in asset reliability.
Lastly, I want to acknowledge that success is not just measured by financial metrics, but also by the positive impact we have on our employees, certification holders, members, volunteers, customers, and the communities we serve. I am committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment where every individual feels valued, empowered, and motivated to thrive.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the AINDT. Together, we will navigate the future with confidence, integrity, and a shared passion for excellence. As incoming CEO my six leading priorities include people and culture, finding growth, taking on risk, managing regulatory requirements, leveraging technology and innovation. I look forward to sharing more on how these will be incorporated into the AINDT’s strategic plan, by getting to know each of you and working together.
Haste Ye Back!
