Head of GrowthFinancial AnalystAccountantC-level ExecutiveSales & BizDevCEOCFOBanking OperationsFinanceCOO

Chartered Accountant CA (SA) turned tech focused CEO, trusted by global banks, asset-managers and high-growth SaaS firms. For 20 years I’ve paired rigorous finance expertise with hands-on operational leadership - scaling revenues, raising capital and guiding cross-functional teams across Africa & the UK. I now offer fractional CFO/COO support, board-level strategy and go-to-market advisory for companies that need rapid, data-driven results without hiring full-time. • Remote-first, able to slot into distributed teams and hit the ground running • Proven track record leading tech-focused companies as well as earlier senior roles in banking & investment management • 12 000-strong professional network to open doors and accelerate execution
