Expertise
✓ A Solid Understanding of Finance & Risk Management
As part of my background – as an accountant, financial controller and portfolio business trader – I hold an extensive knowledge of how the financial world works and how quickly it can change. My speciality is financial modelling and risk management, where my focus lies especially in trading risks. Given that trading can open up a slew of operational, legal and reputational risks to a company, I have been able to mitigate all of that to a minimum.
✓ Board Experience & Leadership
As board chairman, observer and advisor, I have honed a substantial amount of experience in cultivating long-working relationships with all stakeholders. As a leader, I can engage with depth and provide the required financial direction required. I am adaptable to any challenge, no matter the industry, and I owe the success of my accomplishments to my strong work ethic, flexibility and integrity.
✓ Angel Investing
After dealing with assets worth in the multibillions, being able to invest in start-up companies belonging to a large variety of sectors provides me with a unique perspective on how to nurture a business from the early stages onwards. My expertise in risk management allows me to seek out brand new ventures that truly have the potential to grow, where I am able to support the founding and managerial team with my knowledge and funding.
✓ Start-up advisor and part-time CFO
My interests as a start-up investor and have led to roles as a part-time CFO and Board advisor so that i can take a hands-on role in helping businesses get up and running with fundraising, strategy and solid financial plans and processes.
