About me
I worked at a petrol garage/car repair shop owned by my family through university. I then qualified as a US CPA (equivalent to UK Chartered Accountant) at Arthur Andersen and spent 5 years there as an auditor.
I spent 20+ years at the sports and media company IMG, in various group finance roles, first in Cleveland, Ohio and since then in London. I most recently spent 3 years as FD at CPLG, a licensing agency business, followed by some time off the corporate grid to devote to my family, before starting at Six.
