I studied physics at Oxford University, qualified as a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and later completed an MBA at Henley Business School. My career path has always blended rigour with curiosity, a combination that continues to shape how I work with organisations today.

Why I Do This Work
After a long stretch in executive roles, I took a one-year sabbatical to explore creative and personal projects. That period sharpened my interest in sustainable business models, finance innovation and the evolving role of AI in strategic decision-making.

What’s become increasingly clear is how vital financial clarity is for mission-driven organisations. Whether it’s an NGO, a social enterprise or a climate-focused startup, the ability to manage funding, plan sustainably and report transparently is key to creating lasting impact.

That’s why I now work independently with organisations like these, helping them build strong financial foundations, secure the capital they need and make strategic choices that align with both their mission and their numbers.

How I Can Help
I work as a fractional CFO, financial advisor and hands-on analyst depending on what the organisation needs. Some of the ways I can support clients include:

• Developing funding strategies, conducting due diligence and preparing materials to secure grants, equity or bank finance

• Implementing and improving financial systems

• Creating reporting that speaks to boards, funders and stakeholders

• Supporting internal teams with clarity, tools and structure

What I Bring

• 34 years of financial leadership across multinationals and startups

• Deep experience in transformation, restructuring and capital raising

• Strong grounding in IFRS, financial reporting and risk management

• Strategic and operational insight - from the boardroom to the back end

• A personal commitment to sustainable impact and organisational resilience

Credentials

• Chartered Accountant (ACA, ICAEW)

• MBA, Henley Business School

• Associate Member, Association of Corporate Treasurers (AMCT)

• BA (Hons) in Physics, University of Oxford

Beyond the Numbers
Outside of my professional work, I’m actively learning music theory and piano and continue to develop my photography. I am also improving my French, enjoy hiking and love spending time in the local forest with my dog. I stay curious about sustainability, AI and emerging approaches to finance and social and environmental impact.
