About

Chief Financial Officer with enterprise leadership responsibility across finance, strategy, supply chain and investment governance for a national consumer business. I partner closely with shareholders and board members to drive value creation through disciplined capital allocation and data-led strategic planning. My focus is aligning financial strategy with operational execution to support sustainable growth and above hurdle rate returns on invested capital. Recent work has included leading a transition from shareholder-funded operations to an institutional banking structure with a Big 4 lender, developing a five-year strategic and investment roadmap, and chairing both technology and property investment governance to prioritise capital deployment and transformation initiatives. My experience spans commercial finance, operational leadership, enterprise transformation and restructuring and turnaround. I value clear decision-making, transparency with stakeholders and partnering with leadership teams that combine financial discipline with commercial ambition.
