PREVIOUS WORK

CASH FLOW IMPROVEMENT
Successful Turnaround Plan
Led the turnaround of a company which had over-reached following a period of rapid international expansion and was suffering from severe cash flow challenges.  Course corrected by realigning the business model to one that focused on fewer but higher quality products and services.  Injected funds through the sale of non-core assets. Delivered significant working capital improvements by introducing better billing systems, collections processes and reporting.   Improved reporting and reduced cost of finance by deploying a new global finance system and by simplifying the corporate structure in a properly documented, tax compliant way. Consequently, the business became strongly cash generative and the shareholders were well-rewarded through regular dividend distributions.
PROCUREMENT
$50m of Financial Benefits
Established a more professional, spend category driven procurement organisation, realising financial benefits of more than $50m over a four-year period, by identifying and addressing pain points and process inefficiencies in sourcing, contracting, supplier relationship management, compliance and approvals. Selected and deployed Coupa, a cloud-based procurement platform, across 14 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Would you like to learn more about my services?
FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS
Better Analysis and Insights
Delivered improved analysis and insights and solved for the complexity of a multiple ERP landscape by deploying a new cloud-based FP&A platform as the single version of the truth for financial planning and business performance measurement.  Clear, consistent and more timely reporting empowered business managers to make better informed decisions. To learn more, contact me today.
PRODUCT STRATEGY
Sharper Customer Value Proposition
Spearheaded the design of a simplified, customer-oriented product taxonomy replacing more than 100,000 product descriptions with 60 core product offerings.  The simplified taxonomy allowed the business to sharpen its customer value proposition and provided more opportunities to cross-sell and up-sell product bundles.
M&A INTEGRATION
High Performance Finance Organisation
Brought together 200 finance professionals, who mostly joined through acquisitions, and married a range of different cultures and approaches into a cohesive, high performing team during a period of significant change and complexity. To learn more, contact me today.

Built from scratch a full-service regional shared service centre, headquartered in Singapore, with a focus on operational excellence and best-in-class service delivery to address the issue of managing finance in rapidly expanding but fragmented regions.  The SSC achieved scale, developed specialisations, and mitigated risk across a complex, multi-business region that comprised Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and Africa. To learn more, contact me today.
