Finance, Audit & Compliance Leader - Global Hospitality - Operational Excellence, Risk Management & Organisational Governance I am a senior finance, audit, compliance, and governance leader with more than 25 years’ experience strengthening financial integrity and operational performance across global hospitality organisations, including IHG and Valor Hospitality. My career has been built on driving high‑standards of financial discipline, enhancing governance frameworks, and ensuring robust control environments across complex, multi‑site operations. I bring deep expertise in operational finance, internal audit, risk management, and organisational compliance, supported by a hands‑on understanding of hotel operations, shared services, and enterprise level systems. I am particularly experienced in embedding effective control structures, leading compliance programmes, and elevating accountability across all levels of an organisation. Throughout my career, I have played a key role in supporting business transformations, including shared service implementations, digital finance initiatives, acquisitions, integrations, and completion accounts. I enjoy partnering with senior leadership to solve problems, streamline processes, and align financial outcomes with operational strategy. I am motivated by helping businesses operate with clarity, transparency, and confidence, bringing a pragmatic, solutions‑focused approach that balances financial rigour with operational reality. Whether strengthening governance, improving processes, or managing risk, I aim to create environments where teams can succeed and organisations can grow sustainably.
