Candidate Profile for a Head of Finance

A commercially minded finance and operations leader with over 14 years’ experience across financial services, insurance, pension fund administration, property and technology. Joining a regulated financial services group during a period of regulatory and control challenges, this candidate rebuilt the finance function, delivered the first clean audit in years and sustained it, before rising through operations leadership to the top executive role and guiding the business through a successful sale. Strong in strategy, budgeting and forecasting, system migrations and board reporting, she thrives on complex problems and stays calm under pressure. A transparent, empathetic leader who builds accountability without micromanaging, she brings a big personality and a great sense of humour, and is currently completing her CIMA qualification.
