Work With Me
Open to the right opportunity.
Permanent senior leadership or focused interim and advisory engagement. The structure matters less than the fit.
Permanent Roles
I am actively considering senior leadership positions where finance capability, commercial judgment, and digital expertise are genuinely valued together.
Commercial Finance Director
In a consumer goods, FMCG, retail, or ecommerce business where the FD is expected to contribute commercially, not just report. I want to be in the room where the decisions get made, not summarising them afterwards.
CFO
In a business that is growing, transforming, or internationalising. One where the finance function is expected to be an engine of value, not a cost centre. Ideally with digital, ecommerce, or international complexity.
Ecommerce Director
In a business that understands it needs commercial and financial discipline embedded in its ecommerce leadership. I bring both the operational ecommerce experience and the finance rigour that most candidates in this space do not have.
I am not looking for a pure reporting role. I am not interested in maintaining the status quo. If you want someone to challenge, build, and deliver, let's talk.
Interim and Advisory
For businesses that need senior capability on a project or interim basis, I am available for focused engagements in:
- Finance transformation and process redesign
- ERP selection, implementation, and optimisation
- Ecommerce strategy and operations
- International market entry (financial, operational, and commercial)
- Finance function build or restructure
- Systems integration and automation
I work at pace and deliver to a standard I would be comfortable defending in a boardroom or an audit.
Typical engagements run three to twelve months. Shorter diagnostic or advisory work is possible where the scope is clear.
Who I Work Best With
Founders and leadership teams who have built something real and know they need to build the finance and operational infrastructure to match it.
Boards and CEOs who want a finance leader with a commercial perspective, not a finance perspective on commercial matters.
Businesses where ecommerce is either the core channel or a critical growth priority, and where the leadership team understands that getting it right requires more than a marketing budget.
What I Am Not
I am not a contractor who will execute without judgment.
I am not a consultant who will produce a report and disappear.
I am not looking to maintain something that should be transformed.
