I am a finance leader with over 25 years of experience gained across a spectrum of company and industry types. In my senior career I have held the roles of global functional Finance Director, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Financial Officer.I have worked for global market leaders in communications, beverages, pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics, in a range of in-market and above-market roles. These companies have had diverse operating styles, covering the spectrum of heavily centralised to completely decentralised. The one thing that all of these organisations have had in common is that they expect to be the best in their industry and require the same of their people. Consequently, I have had to demonstrate that I have the tenacity and ability to lead teams to successful outcomes.I am passionate about change and transformation. In the modern business world companies can only survive if they continually evolve and optimise their structures and cost bases. I have a track record of delivering extensive cost optimisation and value realisation benefits. As data is essential to rational and progressive transformation, I regard FP&A as being the engine room of the finance function. I have extensive experience of building FP&A teams and systems and embedding their processes and output into the wider business. I am currently looking for new opportunities and I am immediately available.Email – mathewdarbyshire@hotmail.com
