  • Qualified accountant (UK)
  • Proven senior financial leadership experience
  • Strong commercial acumen and entrepreneurial mindset
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights
  • Confident working at Board level
  • Collaborative leader with high emotional intelligence
  • Proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused
  • Strong communicator and effective negotiator
