A finance leader who builds governance, not just reports

I am an Executive Finance Leader and CFO with 25 years of post qualification experience, including 18 years at senior executive and Board level. I specialize in financial reporting, strategic planning, business restructuring and risk management across mining, retail and multi sector operations.

I have led USD 5B+ revenue streams, negotiated USD 100M financing facilities, and implemented more than 20 enterprise wide control frameworks, ensuring compliance, robust reporting and strategic decision making across multiple jurisdictions. The Boards I advise have made capital allocation decisions exceeding USD 750M, and my work has been recognized with the Woman of the Decade in Finance and Leadership award.
