Dear Hiring Manager
Re: Senior Finance Executive
I am characterized by others as a decisive, approachable and passionate finance professional, able to drive
initiatives focused upon corporate expansion in complex environments. My greatest talent lies in an ability to
build teams that support rapid growth, working cooperatively to achieve shared objectives while capitalizing on
the unique skills and competencies of each employee and manager.
With a proven track record directing business operations in the US, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East, my
international outlook supports a skills matrix that incorporates the following:
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND VISION
An engaged, commercially focused and hands-on leader, I have worked directly to define a corporate vision and
mission statement, formulating strategic plans that have provided the framework for sustained and ongoing
growth ahead of business plan projections. I have readily accepted responsibility for operations leadership,
orchestrating roadmaps that have translated strategies into actionable business plans that have delivered
measurable results.

DIRECTING CHANGE
Capable in creating blueprints for change and implementing solutions across large, multinational organizations, I
have defined expertise in facilitating transformation programs and commercial transition, redesigning core
business processes, retraining and reassigning staff, and building consensus to achieve specified objectives. I am
a specialist in expanding a corporate footprint whilst reducing costs and streamlining operations.
COMMERCIAL LEADERSHIP & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Highly effective in the formation of high performance teams that have provided the cornerstone for success in
intensely competitive markets, I can readily present the capacity to develop management talent, introduce best
practice methodologies, accelerate go-to-market capabilities, spearhead customer outreach programs, streamline
corporate processes, manage multi-tiered financial affairs and budgets, and develop entire new organisational
infrastructures to support rapid growth.
I look forward to discussing the position with you in more detail and outlining the substantial capabilities I can
leverage to most readily provide sustained growth and profitability for your company.
