Over the last 25 years I have enjoyed leading large, diverse Trading, Securities Services, Finance and latterly Digital Transformation teams as both COO & CFO for HSBC. I enjoy bringing a strategic perspective to any business I’m involved with, but I’m equally happy in amongst the weeds. I look to help firms deliver long term growth by engaging owners, investors, staff and customers.
