Senior finance leader who actually understands what AI can do for your business

20+ years operating at Director level in global technology businesses. Trusted partner to senior commercial and operational leaders. Now working independently across the UK.


Commercial finance, done properly

I'm a commercially driven finance leader (FCMA CGMA) with a proven track record of operating at Director and executive partner level within global, technology-enabled organisations. My focus has always been on finance that shapes decisions — not just reports on them.

I spent seven years at Arm in a senior finance leadership role, partnering with commercial and operational leaders across a complex, multi-geography business — covering strategic FP&A, long-range planning, investment cases, and board-level reporting. I also built and developed high-performing international finance teams, improving planning tools and data quality to reduce manual reporting and increase decision-making impact.

I combine strategic perspective with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach — able to operate at pace in high-growth environments where finance plays a central role in shaping growth strategy, not just tracking it.

Available from June 2026. Based in Hertfordshire, working across the UK.

Non-Executive Director

Bringing senior commercial finance experience and independent perspective to boards. Particularly well-suited to businesses navigating growth, investment, or strategic change.

AI is changing finance. Most teams don't know where to start.
I've spent considerable time understanding what AI tools can and can't do in a real finance context — and how to think about applying them practically, without the hype.

What I can help you think through

Where AI adds genuine leverage in a finance function. How to separate the tools worth using from the noise. What the realistic impact looks like on reporting, analysis, and commercial decision-making — and how to approach it without making expensive mistakes.

Honest about what it is

I'm not selling AI implementation services. I'm a senior finance professional who has taken AI seriously, understands the landscape, and can help leadership teams think clearly about what it means for their finance function — without a vendor agenda.
