I am a highly qualified and experienced executive who has worked as CEO, CFO and even Chair in the past. I bring energy, pragmatism and real common sense to both complex and simple problems. I work equally well leading a team, as part of team or alone on projects. I have worked with some of the largest and smallest firms in the world and bring that experience to the local firms who need it.

Track Record Highlights

I grew British Friendly from an almost dormant company into the 5th largest writer of income protection insurance in the UK.
