An experienced ACA qualified CFO with strong commercial,operational and leadership skills who adds value in media businesses. Worked internationally and in both corporate and private equity environments and have extensive experience of M&A transactions in Europe and North America. I have a business partnering mentality and have a track record of building and leading multinational finance teamsI have been successful where:• There is a fast paced ,creative and commercially driven environment where I can partner with key executives to drive value across a large part of the business• The business has both strategic and operational challenges • The business has a strong international flavour• The business is involved in M&A activity • Key business decisions need either more support or more challenge and analysis• People work hard AND play hard , where there is a great team ethos and where the sound of laughter is commonplaceI believe all great businesses have a well respected and well managed finance function as part of their DNA and I have been lucky enough to build, lead and manage a few of these over the years
