My Story
Upon graduating from university, I was eager to make my mark in commerce and embarked on a career in executive search in early summer 2008, just as the global financial crisis was beginning (remarkable timing!). Nearly two decades later, I am now a Partner at Savannah Group, specialising in CFO appointments for private equity and venture capital-backed organisations.
My career has been driven by a deep fascination with the inner workings of businesses. In my current role, I have the privilege of working closely with clients, gaining invaluable firsthand insights into the diverse challenges business leaders face and witnessing how these challenges evolve over time. This hands-on experience allows me to understand the nuances of each organisation and deliver tailored solutions that address their unique needs.
My Focus
As a Partner in the CFO practice at Savannah Group, I specialise in CFO and financial leadership appointments for private equity and venture capital-backed businesses. In these dynamic markets, the distinction between success and failure often hinges on the strength of your leadership team, particularly the CFO. I take pride in my deep functional knowledge, extensive global CFO network, and thorough expertise in the companies I work with. My commitment is to provide the right insight and access to transformative CFOs with pace and precision, ensuring that our clients secure the leadership they need to drive exceptional outcomes and unlock significant value.
My Motivation
I’m ultimately motivated by client success, ensuring that clients find the right CFO who can significantly impact their business, driving financial performance, strategic growth, and value creation. Delivering on that allows you to build long term relationships where you gain your clients trust and respect.
Passionate about continuous learning and development, I take the time needed to be able to translate and articulate complex business models, especially within frontier industries such as SaaS, AI, and crypto. This ability enables me to connect clients with the right talent, ensuring a perfect fit and significant impact.
