I am a commercially-oriented Chartered Accountant with 15 years as a CFO in private equity-funded international groups. In 2012, I transitioned to a portfolio career, supporting companies and projects, including three successful start-up exits.<\/p>\n
I provide non-executive director and advisory services, offer hands-on support for strategic projects, and occasionally invest or work on a risk\/reward basis.<\/p>\n
Born in the UK, I grew up across Europe, learning French, German, and Italian. I studied Inorganic Chemistry at Imperial College London, joined Price Waterhouse, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1992. My career began in audit and corporate recovery before specializing in transaction services, focusing on private equity and IPOs across Europe.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”Skills and Experience” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
I have extensive experience with medium-sized, international groups, often in private equity environments with high growth and performance expectations. My expertise includes:<\/p>\n
Strategy, Budgeting, Planning, Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\nRisk Management, Compliance, Governance<\/strong><\/p>\nCompany Funding and Treasury<\/strong><\/p>\nMaximizing Working Capital and Cashflow<\/strong><\/p>\nFinance Function Strategy, Team & Organization<\/strong><\/p>\nMergers and Acquisitions<\/strong><\/p>\nDue Diligence Preparedness<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”Strategy, Budgeting, Planning, and Reporting” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_color=”#6c4e32″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
Planning and budgeting processes must align with strategic objectives and operational realities. Effective reporting focuses on KPIs, operational performance, and cashflow while communicating financial performance to stakeholders under IFRS, US GAAP, or other standards.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\nDeveloped frameworks and models for strategic reviews and re-engineered planning processes.<\/p>\n
Streamlined budget roles, reducing iterations from five to two versions.<\/p>\n
Overhauled monthly reporting and implemented SAP BO for enhanced data management.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”Finance Teams and Organisations” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
Rebuilding or strengthening finance teams is often necessary in medium-sized organizations. I prioritize developing existing talent while attracting skilled professionals to meet changing business demands.<\/p>\n
Approach:<\/strong><\/p>\nEmpower finance teams to support and challenge the business.<\/p>\n
Balance local accountability with open reporting lines to the CFO.<\/p>\n

“Working in the precious metals sector presents unique challenges, including high operational risks, complex inventory reconciliation, and evolving compliance standards.”<\/strong><\/p>\nAchievements:<\/strong><\/p>\nManaged M&A deals where metal values exceeded enterprise value.<\/p>\n
