About

I’m a commercially focussed chartered accountant with 15 years’ experience working in the private sector across large and small organisations within the Retail/FMCG/Manufacturing sectors. Leading teams of various sizes, I’ve worked up into senior roles where I now operate at board level as a CFO in addition to sitting on the board of a charity as a trustee. I have extensive experience of understanding organisations as a whole and how they operate, helping to shape the strategies whilst also understanding what’s needed day to day to then deliver against those strategies.
