As the inaugural CFO, my role was to introduce robust financial processes, develop the reporting framework to the business and Board and assist with capital raises across multiple countries. I managed a small team that supported a global business which was growing rapidly in terms of size and complexity. Providing accurate and timely information was my focus as well as lending commercial acumen and leading financial accountability to all areas of the business.My experience as a CFO began at The Gordon TAFE which operates under the Department of Education within the Victorian State government.
