I am a financial and commercially focused professional with extensive experience within publicly listed and multinational businesses. Having worked within the accounting profession for over six years within a Top 4 and 2nd Tier Chartered Firm, providing audit and business advisory services to a diverse client base, I gained exposure to varying businesses across multiple industries. This experience has entrenched my ability to understand businesses from the bottom up and the key drivers which underpin business performance.Since leaving Chartered in 2004, I have gained a breadth of commercial experience, developing specialist skills in M&A, financial/corporate reporting, business and strategic planning, corporate governance, business and finance analysis, forecasting, risk management and asset management.My passion is working with Executive Teams in advancing and diversifying their business through strategic expansion and acquisitions, along with delivering upon strategic initiatives to increase shareholder value.
