I love to see the results of my work: tracking tangible business improvements, whether it’s in the form of improved cash flow, decreased costs, or increased revenues, is what motivates me, driving me to work harder and find new ways of impacting commercial performance. With over 15 years’ experience in commerce and industry, and in advisory, I’ve also developed a deep understanding of corporate finance, transaction services and M&A, providing me with a holistic view of the business environment that enhances strategy development and implementation and maximises shareholder value.A qualified Chartered Accountant, Big 4 Transaction Services Manager, and in-house Corporate Services Leader, I excel at identifying problems and building solutions, applying my analytical, curious nature to address the root cause of commercial underperformance. I work best when I’m able to engage across a business’ operations, connecting dots while maintaining a big picture view across functions to understand complex, interconnected issues. In addition to strong technical accounting and finance skills, I’m a ‘people person’ with a collaborative, open approach. Adding value is a point of pride, and I’m in my element when I’m working in a team or as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, shareholders, or key stakeholders. If you’re interested in connecting, please feel free to email me directly, or send through a LinkedIn invitation to connect. I enjoy building business connections and am open to building links with professionals from across industries.
