Bringing commercial financial leadership and professional services expertise to Shoosmiths

I’m Interim Chief Financial Officer at Shoosmiths, supporting the firm’s financial leadership and wider business priorities. As a Chartered Accountant and experienced finance leader, I bring a strong background in professional services, including significant experience within the legal sector.

Before joining Shoosmiths, I held senior finance roles at Fox Williams and DLA Piper, alongside broader advisory and finance director positions working with organisations across professional services and other sectors. My experience spans financial and risk reporting, working capital, finance team effectiveness, business growth and organisational change.

I’m focused on bringing commercial insight and financial rigour to decision-making, helping create the conditions for sustainable growth and supporting teams to perform at their best. I enjoy working collaboratively across a business, combining a clear view of the numbers with an understanding of the wider strategic and commercial picture.
