Bryan Davies’s Expertise With all the skills of a Board Level Chief Operating Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Managing Director, General Manager or Chief Product Officer, I have successfully transformed businesses by fashioning and implementing new digital and commercial propositions that created rapid revenue growth. A leader with an understanding of the role culture plays in performance, a tough commercial negotiator, a builder of relationships with clients that endure and a designer of organisations that deliver business strategy through strong execution, I have successfully leveraged the skills learned as an engineering leader in an early career with the Royal Navy, ABB and Daimler Chrysler into today’s knowledge economy (RELX/Elsevier). Selected Achievements: • Transforming a business which had grown by 1% per annum over a decade into a dynamic, customer focussed Division expanding by 5% per annum at the same time as significantly reducing costs. • Turning around the culture of a team to one where innovation, energy, commercial thinking and calculated risk taking thrived, raising its employees NPS score from -17 to +23 in less than a year, and to +52 in three. • Designing and delivering a commercial strategy beating the Board set revenue target of 2.7m p/a by more than 350% (13m) in a year, before growing its t/o to 60m p/a. • Creating AI enabled ‘ScienceDirect Topics’ for the world’s largest STM research information platform, significantly improving discoverability, user engagement and usage. ‘Topics’ is now one of Elsevier’s biggest traffic drivers. • Making substantial revenue from the large multinational pilot customer of a new “Platform as a Service” offering integrating customer and publisher data and leveraging machine learning technology. After my early career as an Engineering Officer in the Royal Navy, I worked as an Engineer for a Joint Venture (JV) of ABB and Daimler Chrysler, a global provider of railway signalling systems. I then moved into digital transformation at Elsevier, as a Programme Director delivering finance, production, fulfilment, customer satisfaction and business development innovations. This included the migration of production data during a major production tracking systems upgrade, and the deployment of new CRM systems. Having met all my goals at Elsevier, I am keen to find a new career-defining challenge, at a senior level, for a business travelling its digital journey, where my people, commercial, organisational and change management skills can deliver high levels of transformational and sustainable growth.
