“Following a highly successful decade, Finura was looking for a new school thinker to join their senior leadership team. Their vision, excellent client-centric standards, and agility drew me in. It was very clear to me early on just how forward-thinking, collaborative their culture was.

A perfect combination and true competitive advantage in the industry. 

I am thrilled to join Finura and play such a key role in the next phase of the company’s journey. Driving strategic growth, diversifying income streams, and continuing to increase personalisation and efficiency for our clients.”
