CFO

I am a highly accomplished and commercially astute CFO (ACMA) with extensive experience in strategic financial leadership. I founded and scaled a B2B SaaS platform based on AI, Blockchain, and APIs, aligning company operations with a clear growth strategy. I have successfully built the company’s financial framework and implemented core systems for efficient scaling. My experience includes raising £3.2 million in capital, securing financial stability, and enabling rapid growth. I have landed key projects with global clients and led contract and pricing negotiations to successful conclusions.

I have a strong background in financial strategy and growth, driving company growth to projected Annual Recurring Revenues (ARRs) of £10 million. I have defined and tracked key performance indicators (KPIs) and objectives and key results (OKRs). My hands-on execution style has allowed me to manage company finances through significant challenges, ensuring business continuity and safeguarding cash flow. I have orchestrated collaboration across all departments to ensure smooth and quick execution of projects.

I have worked in private equity and venture capital-backed businesses, focusing on capital raising and management, M&A origination and integration, and company turnarounds. I have built high-performing finance teams and managed multi-site structures in SaaS, financial services, and insurance businesses. My cultural experience spans across the globe, including Japan, China, India, the USA, and Europe.

In my previous roles, I have established and led EMEA M&A operations for a major private equity group, managed finance functions for multiple business units, and successfully turned around loss-making businesses. I have a proven track record of increasing profitability, reducing costs, and implementing new systems and procedures to drive efficiency.

I hold an MBA from Warwick Business School and have completed an Executive Education Program at Harvard. My personal interests include exploring emerging technologies, competitive football, golf, reading, and gardening.
