Group Director of Finance, Avenues Group
I'm responsible for ensuring control and reporting of the Group's finances and supporting the organisational strategy through financial planning and analysis. I'm also involved with the IT strategy, ensuring the organisation has the right technology and systems in place, with effective support.
I’m a qualified Fellow Chartered Accountant and have been working in finance for more than 20 years, mostly in the not-for-profit/healthcare sector. Immediately before Avenues I was the UK Finance Director at Marie Stopes International. My previous roles have given me extensive knowledge and experience of finance transformation and implementing strategies to support growth plans.
