Strategic and Operational Financial Leadership for Ambitious Businesses

Helping founder-led and PE-backed companies grow, restructure, and thrive.

I’m a commercially sharp and emotionally intelligent CFO with over 20 years’ experience supporting SMEs and scale-ups through growth, challenge, and transformation. I work with businesses at pivotal moments, whether scaling, restructuring, or preparing for investment or exit, and step in with clarity, energy, and grounded leadership.

I combine strategic direction with operational delivery, from designing financial frameworks to executing them with precision. With a balance of commercial insight, operational rigour, and emotional intelligence, I bring the full breadth of CFO capability, tailored to where your business is now, and where you want it to go.

I think like a CEO, operate like a founder, and lead like a partner.
