For the last 3 years I was CFO - Sara Lee Australia.GoalsI seek a role that allows me to lead and/or participate in strategic development and change, but without losing the fulfilment associated with delivering at the operational level.Company culture is important, and I seek an open, innovative and collaborative environment where clear stretch goals are the norm.Specialties: Broad skills set in Financial Management over 25+ years,Shared Services,Project Management,Continuous Improvement and Change Management Initiatives
