With extensive experience in managing finance teams and finance transformation, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world’s leading brands, including Disney, 20th Century Fox, Telstra, Kantar / WPP and PwC. I have expertise in guiding global teams through complex outsourcing projects, creating in-house finance teams from scratch, mentoring teams and team members on personal growth and change management. I find practical solutions to finance process workflow choke points and team structure optimisation. I specialise in building and leading high-performing teams, fostering continuous improvement, and empowering others through thoughtful, grounded leadership. My work experience also include SOX. IFRS, US GAAP and managing annual Corporate Audits.
I have a Bachelor of Business (Accounting), MBA, CPA, and a Diploma in Internal Auditing. I have also completed a AICD - Governance for Directors, Strategy & Risk for Directors course.
