I believe Finance teams should enable businesses to grow and scale and provide management with intelligent & timely insights.
I have over 25 years’ experience in finance, commercial and strategy roles in FMCG, energy, infrastructure, financial services, technology and not-for-profit organisations.
I like to understand the commercial ambition of a business and build a finance team, systems and process to support that ambition.
