About

I’m a CIMA‑qualified senior finance leader with over 20 years’ experience across senior finance roles, including Finance Director, Head of Finance and Financial Controller, working with high‑growth, investor‑backed and international businesses. I operate as a Board‑level finance partner, supporting CEOs, founders and investors through periods of growth, restructuring and change. My experience spans funding, cashflow and working capital optimisation, finance transformation, governance, and building scalable finance functions. I’ve worked across a broad range of sectors including technology, gaming, Web3, engineering, manufacturing and services, including organisations funded through cryptocurrency and digital asset investment structures. In these environments, my focus has been on strong financial control, clear reporting, risk management and commercial decision‑making. I’m known for building high‑performing finance teams, improving the quality and speed of management information, and bringing clarity to complex financial and operational challenges. I’m open to senior permanent, interim or fractional roles where finance leadership, commercial insight and board‑level support are critical.
