Overview

I am an experienced senior executive with a broad business background and a strong foundation in finance. I currently report to the Managing Director and am responsible for finance, IT systems and business processes.
My proven ability to think conceptually and strategically and my capacity to deliver at an operational level have led to my most recent role.
I have an unusual skill-set that enables me to understand the numbers, their implications for the business and the actions required to get buy-in from all the stakeholders for a successful and integrated outcome. I am reasoned and persuasive, with superb people skills.
My finance experience and broad exposure to business gives me sound judgement, and the ability to align the management team to a single strategic view including the business plan and culture.
I am highly organised, known for my determination and my ability to communicate effectively with the Board, senior management and staff. I have consistently delivered outstanding results in all my roles, performing with high energy, intellect and integrity.
