"I was recently the interim CFO in an acquisition by a US Private Equity firm. I led the finance transformation from a family run business to a dynamic, PE-sponsored environment by installing improved internal controls and reporting structures and by upgrading systems, processes and people; a plan which delivered +50% EBITDA increase in the first year. I have since joined the fund as a finance-focused operating partner". CFO FP&A Controlling Restructuring Cash Management FINANCE "I recently program managed the carveout and go-live of a $3bn food packaging company of 6,300 employees in 17 countries with 44 manufacturing facilities. It was inspiring to co-create a new brand, set of values and overall strategy with such a committed, competent and creative international management team and PE sponsor – all whilst integrating marketing/legal/financial/HR functions throughout the process". Integration Carve Out Exit Readiness M&A "I recently led the global CPG supply chain team through a total cost optimization review of a $80M subcategory of organic chemicals by focusing on building in-depth market intelligence, sustainable low-cost country team engagement and should- cost models to devise a negotiation strategy which resulted in an 8% structural reduction in COGS and contributed significantly to the wider supply chain transformation agenda". OPERATIONS Procurement Supply Chain & Logistics Lean Manufacturing "I recently worked with a PE-backed emergency response software company to improve the end-to-end sales process. We fixed the Demand Generation engine, implemented a transparent Sales Methodology in their CRM, and a new hires jumpstart programme to ramp up quota achievement. The benefits were realised in the year-over-year ACV growth (40%), a decrease in the sales cycle (90 to 30 days), and the ramp-up time of the new sales hires from 9 to 3 months". CRO CMO Pricing Digital Marketing Sales & Rev Ops COMMERCIAL "I recently managed the transformation of an F&B company under a PE buy-and- build strategy. This included the identification of acquisition targets (buyout & carveout) as well as managing projects related to cost reduction analysis, IT migration/transformation, Capex monitoring, stock reduction and production capacity expansion. We got great results across the key transformation criteria set by our PE sponsors". Transformation Leadership Value Creation PMO TRANSFORMATION "I recently led an IT transformation programme to deliver 40% cost savings and a new IT operating model for a property services group that had gone through an intense period of inorganic growth. We addressed the entire IT estate including considerable data centre and WAN consolidations and many application rationalisation initiatives – all with ongoing leadership responsibility for budgets, sourcing, IT Ops and security".
