I support organisations that are growing, reshaping or strengthening their position. This includes organic or acquisitive growth, re-shaping the core offer, strengthening the balance sheet, divesting or investing.

Strategic Thinker

I bring an open mind, focussed thinking and take a holistic view of strategy, seeing financials as another consideration and perspective.

I always advocate detailed management of under-performing working capital assets, aiming to maximise their realisable value without compromising core offer.
