About
ACMA-qualified Finance and Operations leader with 25 years inside cloud, e-commerce, retail and FMCG. Comfortable briefing CEOs and CFOs weekly, with full P&L ownership where required.
In short
I build the strategies, telemetry and operating cadences that move large field organisations from a position to a number — most recently $13B to $15B at AWS EMEA in 2024.
Chiltern Advisory exists to bring that operating muscle to SME and PE-backed leadership teams who need senior, accountable finance and operations leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
