I have successfully scaled up a wholesale and retail business operation in Australia. My unique combination of financial, strategic, and commercial expertise has allowed me to not only identify cost reduction, continuous improvement, and growth opportunities but to effectively implement strategies to capitalise on them.Though I have a breadth of expertise across business management, my speciality lies in managing the finance function from budgeting to forecasting, analysis, hedging, and reporting. I take pride in gathering data-led insights and providing detailed commentary to drive better decisions. I also enjoy leading the finance team to ensure all transactional activities are completed accurately and in a timely manner. My ability to inspire the team to deliver high-quality outputs is second to none, with a proven track record of uplifting people's capabilities and creating a positive working environment
