What I'm looking for

As a Head of Financial Operations with over 12 years of experience, I have a proven track record in driving financial transformation and operational excellence. Currently, at The Capatus Group, I have successfully led the overhaul of financial operations, implementing strategic changes that have significantly enhanced efficiency and established a new finance structure. My leadership has resulted in the best debt position in company history within just five months, and I have consistently delivered measurable improvements in profitability and stakeholder engagement.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded numerous initiatives that have resulted in substantial financial gains, including generating an additional £170k a month at Onnec and saving £1 million annually at Prestige. My ability to foster a culture of continuous improvement and mentor high-performing teams has been instrumental in achieving these results. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to solve complex challenges and drive long-term growth.
