The winds of change: 18 November 2009
New faces join PMP while Jet Technologies expands its customer service team.
PMP makes two senior executive appointments
Transformation continues at PMP as Michael Vincent is appointed in an executive strategic role and Penny Mabbutt chosen to lead the company’s people and culture strategy.
Leading strategy at an organisational level, Vincent (pictured) will have responsibility for strategic alignment of the Group and development of organisational strategies to support the direction of the PMP business. He will also take on primary responsibility for identifying high value opportunities which will deliver growth for customers and shareholders.
Working with PMP’s executive team, Penny Mabbutt (pictured below) has been appointed to develop and implement people and culture strategies to support PMP’s transformation plan.
With previous experience in people management, organisation change and strategic planning, Mabbutt has worked across sectors including media, bio-tech, manufacturing and software.
Before her appointment to PMP she worked with organisations including Syngenta, Pacific Power and TransGrid. Most recently, Mabbutt was human resources director for information provider, LexisNexis, where she partnered with the executive team in developing and implementing HR strategy for its business transformation.
Richard Allely, CEO of PMP Limited, welcomed their arrival at the company and said their appointments signalled the company’s commitment to delivering on its transformation plan objectives.
“To achieve the outcomes promised in the company’s transformation plan we need the best and the brightest to drive significant change right across every part of the business. Penny and Michael’s capabilities complement those of the executive management team and will be invaluable as we continue to transform and re-energise our business,” he said.
“These appointments demonstrate my absolute determination to transform PMP into an efficient and competitive media services company. I look forward to working with Michael and Penny to achieve this goal.”
Jet grows customer service
A growing partnership with Gerhardt and an increased market presence staff numbers gives Jet Technologies the chance to expand its their Sydney head office.
Rhoebee Clemente (pictured) is the latest addition to the customer service team. Her primary role will be to assist with the processing of enquiries and orders relating to the Gerhardt product range.
According to Mark Simpson, product support manager, Clemente’s appointment was indicative of company growth. “With the entire Gerhardt portfolio now available to Jet Technologies and increased demand for their tooling we wanted to make sure that our clients continued to receive the excellent service they are accustomed to, for this to happen we had to employ a new team member,” he said.
“With a background in technical drawing and computer-aided design, Rhoebee was an obvious choice for the position. Her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn will no doubt make her an integral part of the Jet Technologies Customer Service Team.”
In addition, Michael Truong based at Gerhardt Australia in Melbourne, has become an extended member of the Jet Technologies customer service team. With eight years experience in the production of Rotary Tooling Michael will be able to assist customers directly or via Jet Technologies with any sales or technical questions.
