Liz Latham

About

Finance Director with over 20 years’ experience working alongside CEOs, Boards, and leadership teams to improve profitability, strengthen cashflow, and deliver meaningful transformation across complex, multi-site retail and distribution businesses. I have operated at both UK and European level, with a proven track record of delivering material EBITDA improvement, working capital release, and stronger financial governance. My experience spans NASDAQ-listed, PE-backed, and matrix organisations, including M&A integration, ERP implementation, and large-scale change programmes. Known for being commercial, straight-talking, and constructive. I am someone who brings clarity to complex issues and turns financial insight into practical actions. I thrive in fast-paced environments where finance plays a critical role in shaping decision, driving accountability, and influencing outcomes.
