United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Vodafone Group Plc, I own end-to-end delivery of a multi-billion euro funding programme, coordinating external banking partners with legal, risk and treasury teams. My work helped reduce funding costs by 20% for the German entity.
I also programme-manage grant funding partnerships with Development Finance Institutions across Africa. I set goals and milestones, coordinate stakeholders and track delivery, with €80m+ committed to projects generating social and economic impact—the part of my role I find most rewarding.
My earlier work at Vodafone included risk and portfolio analysis across eight local entities, supporting a programme that freed up about €1 billion a year in cash for the Group. I’m also a Finance point of contact for AI, where I design and facilitate company-wide training sessions.
