I am a senior commercial and finance executive with extensive experience operating at executive and board-facing level in growth-stage and complex businesses. My background spans financial strategy, pricing, commercial finance, tax, governance, and executive decision support, with a consistent focus on disciplined growth, margin optimisation, and cash generation.
I have acted as a de facto CFO and Commercial Director, partnering closely with CEOs and managing directors to scale businesses, structure large transactions, and implement robust financial controls and forecasting frameworks. My experience combines strategic finance leadership with hands-on execution across income statement ownership, working capital management, and performance management.
In parallel, I am a founder–owner of a premium wine label, which has strengthened my ownership mindset, capital allocation judgement, and appreciation for execution risk and cash discipline.
