About:

A strategic business executive with a strong finance and commercial background. An energetic and collaborative 2IC to the CEO role and partner to executive teams with diverse experience across multiple sectors.

I have developed and supported business strategies of expansion and divestment through my breadth of expertise across Finance, HR, Payroll, IT, Legal, Risk and Governance functions and which enhance my adaptability, understanding of business drivers and issues, and approach to decisions.

I am an innovative and empathetic leader experienced in leveraging emerging technologies to improve operational outcomes by managing on a predictive basis rather than reactive. I build collaborative relationships with stakeholders and lead and develop multidisciplinary teams to align and achieve team goals to successful business outcomes.

Key achievements:

- Developed and led the finance strategic plan which has led to 7 continuous years of double digit revenue growth and maintenance of double digit profitability;

- Negotiated and implemented 4 company acquisitions over the past 36 months. This has bolstered the product and services offerings and led to increased new client wins and improved new client conversion KPI’s;

- Supported and improved commercial negotiations on major tenders and multinational client wins. The outcome was improved pricing of services which increased revenue and margins across the digital services landscape;

- Developed and implemented financial plans to improve and manage operational costs on a

continuous basis with cascaded KPI’s for BU leaders. This has resulted in annual cost savings

in line with company targets and removed any impact on changes to staffing structures during the Covid trading period.

- Formulated and established a shared services model for Finance, IT, HR, Payroll, Risk and Legal

services across a group of companies. This has resulted in a standardised and reduced risk

environment with improved controls, aligned service levels and reduced operational costs.

- Sponsored and led the replacement of legacy systems with an SAP SaaS implementation. This has improved process efficiencies through the introduction of digitised lean processes, transparent KPI’s and real time dashboards.

- Sponsored and led the strategy to transition from capital IT requirements to IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). This reduced the capital requirements, depreciation costs and improved working capital.
