I'm a commercially astute FD/CFO with 15+ years of post-qualified experience, an MBA, and a passion for driving sustainable growth through strategic insight, financial excellence, and innovation. I've worked across FTSE-listed, PE-backed, and SME businesses in luxury and premium sectors—including interiors, fashion, hospitality, and real estate—leading global, multi-site and omni-channel operations. I thrive at the intersection of finance, strategy, and transformation, delivering robust FP&A, strong governance, and continuous improvement initiatives that unlock value and support long-term business objectives. I'm also a strong advocate for environmental sustainability and an early adopter of AI and data-led tools to elevate performance and decision-making. Let’s connect if you’re interested in where commercial finance, digital innovation, and leadership meet.
