I am a CEO and business manager with excellent finance skills. I have extensive experience in professional services, health, project management and retail. I have led professional teams and organisations to growth and innovation, seeking solutions and opportunities to deliver positive outcomes for their stakeholders. My leadership style is hands-on, built on excellent communication, and organisational capabilities, which suits small to medium organisations. As an accountant, I have excellent financial skills and an ability to understand the commercial imperatives of a business along with a focus on improving processes and create efficiencies. Some of my achievements at UFS included:* Growing revenue threefold in excess of $24m, employees from 40 to over 130 employees. We grew consistently above industry benchmarks, through a combination of acquisition, new businesses, site relocations, and organic growth.* Created an extremely successful community program that engaged members to select community organisations that ultimately contributed over $750,000 to approximately 80 organisations throughout the greater Bendigo community over the course of 15 years. * Performed the Chief Finance Officer function for UFS Pharmacies including performance reporting, statutory reporting, budgeting, compliance, overseeing the audit, policy development, overseeing payroll process, and business case preparation.* Navigating the pandemic’s challenges using a creative and planned approach supported by timely, effective communication across a range of locations and business types. We focused on keeping our teams and the community safe while continuing to deliver an essential service.* Encouraged innovation throughout our organisation as demonstrated through our drive-through pharmacy service, development of a member mobile app and other initiatives to create an improved customer experience and convenience.I have a strategic and curious mindset that rises above the detail to look to the future and explore how an organisation needs to evolve to create a sustainable model that can adapt to any future state or potential threats.
