Speaker Bio:
Martin is a commercially minded CFO who’s spent the last couple of decades helping businesses stop faffing about and grow. He's sat in the boardroom, rolled up his sleeves and done the work and knows the difference between strategy that works and PowerPoint waffle (although he does love PowerPoint).
Bit of an odd mix being a Chartered Accountant for over 25 years as well as a (non-practising) barrister, what it means is he knows the numbers inside out but also has a bit of substance (and claims he looks good in a wig).
During his “career” he’s also done quite a lot of things (as he likes changing direction and learning, a lot), having been a Corporate Financier, CFO, Entrepreneur, a serial NED, early stage investor (for a fund and himself) and a senior lecturer at a top business school.
The common thread is simple, he helps ambitious, interesting, entrepreneurial ventures turn good ideas into businesses that actually grow and make money.
If you want sugar-coated advice, look elsewhere. If you want someone who’ll call a spade a shovel and get results, that’s him.
