McLaren RacingDirector, Financial Strategy & Transformation
Apr. 2019 - Aug. 2021With the backing of Zak Brown and his management team, I was promoted to lead the refinement and execution of McLaren’s new business plan - a transformational project designed to secure the long-term sustainability of the organization. Central to this initiative was the establishment of a Project Management Office (PMO), where I oversaw the expansion of talent, reinvestment in critical assets, and the development of new capabilities. I also spearheaded the implementation of process, systems and reporting to manage new financial regulations. This transformation was underpinned by a cultural shift focused on fostering high performance, maximising value, and driving impact across the organisation. These efforts collectively rebuilt McLaren’s foundation, culminating in the team’s historic achievement of winning the 2024 World Constructors' Championship.
