  • Instil confidence in finance operations and controls at the C-level and Board level through strong leadership, transparency, and effective communication.
  • Act as an influential leader for the broader business, leveraging knowledge and experience to drive sound business decisions, optimise processes, and identify opportunities for strategic value creation.
  • Foster a collaborative, agile, and high-performance culture within the team, supporting professional development and engagement during a period of significant business expansion.
