John has been at the forefront of corporate finance for over 30 years. Through that illustrious career he has developed an unrivalled skillset for being able to look at the whole financial footprint of a business.

Far more than simply a P&L positioner, or acting as a financial strategist, John reviews a business’s whole fiscal policy, reviews its debt and exposures, investment portfolio and more importantly its potential harm or impacts from external factors, both short and long term, and swiftly drafts a financial strategy to safeguard the businesses future.

With a strong background as an interest rate expert and economist, John puts those key groundings to great effect when plotting the future path for a business, considering the economic, political, and competitive landscape, using data from the past, and events of the present, to predict the impacts of the future.

Having this truly “Big picture view” of a business, and the eco-system it operates within, not only mitigates risk, but it also drives up confidence for investors and key stakeholders, and puts the business truly “ahead of the curve”. All delivered by someone with a unique skillset to take the most complex problems and lay them out in layman’s terms so all key stakeholders can digest and action.

After 30 years delivering such a key skillset and visionary approach for RBS, Bank of America – Merrill Lynch and UBS, John now enters the Non-Executive space where he is looking to engage with a mid-sized business looking for such a future proofing mindset in their board.
