 “If you have the right attitude, you’ll stay ahead of the game”
JESSE MUIR
ROBERT BOSCH
“Polished, strategic and influential, a real leader” is what the judges said about Jesse Muir, one of whose highlights so far includes having worked hard to get Bosch Blue products ranged into Bunnings.
Armed with what his boss calls “impeccable management and innovative thinking”, Jesse has been instrumental in shifting the BOSCH power tools business from firmly DIY, deep into the professional end user market.
What does Jesse feel sets him apart? “Attitude is key. Times change and we all exceed or miss our budgets which are
the day to day measure of success. But, if you have the right attitude, you’ll stay ahead of the game.”
Admitting that entering the Hardware Awards was outside of his comfort zone, would he recommend that others enter? “Definitely. The process isn’t easy but you meet a lot of new people along the way. An award at the end is a nice incentive too!’ he says.
