My experience and development has covered most finance functions and over the last twenty years I have worked very closely with the CEO’s of several businesses forming dynamic partnerships developing and delivering their strategic plan. In particular "start up's" helping them develop their model, raise finance and closely manage and develop their business. The resulting success coming from in depth business planning to ensure resources were recognised, a critical path identified and managing the actual processes to reach the targeted result. Frequently involved in the day to day “hands on” as part of minimising cost, maximising return and ensuring control. As inevitable variance occurred I worked closely with the CEO's and Chairs to understand the differences, take advantage of opportunities and revise planning to meet and improve the strategic plan.Specialties: Developer of good financial structure enabling fine control ensuring resource requirements are identified and managed.
