I am an experienced leader and business partner with a great understanding of organizational strategy, operational finance and complex policy development within large organizations. I am a well-rounded self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments, partners effectively with senior functional business leaders and organizational decisionmakers, and have the ability to tackle situations and issues from multiple perspectives. I am great at building strong relationships and working collaboratively to help drive organizational success. I have significant experience working and leading multi-skilled teams both in person and remotely.Passion for youth and children's services, particularly disadvantaged young people, raising aspirations and life choices. While I believe every role I have done, in every organizational, has brought opportunities to grow and improve, I am particularly passionate about combining my desire to serve those less fortunate with my professional skillset.I hugely value the importance of life-long learning, self-reflection, continuous improvement and making the most of every success and difficulty. I get personal satisfaction from going the extra mile and seek to make sure I provide as much value in every conversation and interaction I have with others, whether I personally benefit or not. I have seen that looking at problem holistically with a "systems" approach yields better results in the long-term and identifies root causes, not symptoms. I believe the one of the most important things anyone can do in their job, no matter their role or profession, is to truly understand the organization's strategy, goals and objectives, and work out how to add maximum value through their personal responsibilities and actions.Key skills- I collaborate across functional and organizational boundaries, building consensus for common goals and strategies to create success- I am adept at managing organizational performance, utilizing data and research effectively through reports and analysis to provide insight and recommendations that improve business performance- I develop budgets and financial plans that focus on the achievement of business strategy and performance goals- I am an excellent verbal and written communicator and presenter- I enjoy leading, coaching and motivating others to succeed in professional, nonprofit and faith contexts- I am a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), an international accreditation recognized by the AICPA- I have supervisory and team leader experience of over eight years.
