A commercially minded builder and leader of dynamic global teams and businesses in disruptive and high growth markets and a thought leader in data led and digital lending, with expertise in unsecured lending, working capital finance, SME finance, trade finance, receivables finance and supply chain finance. My deep understanding of leadership, strategy, product development, B2B sales, marketing, risk, compliance and technology has allowed me to drive success and innovation in the fintech and financial services industry.
