📖 Summary
I’m currently on secondment to Skyscanner Japan as interim CEO, based in Tokyo. Skyscanner Japan is a new joint venture between Skyscanner and Yahoo! Japan. My role includes building the team of software engineers, designers, marketing and commercial and helping to set the strategies for each of these areas to be the best travel site in Japan. Previous to this I was Group Financial Controller of Skyscanner, the global travel search site and one of the UKs most exciting tech companies. I’ve been with Skyscanner since Feb 2013. I qualified as a chartered accountant and tax advisor with KPMG in 2008 and after having been there 4 years left to work with Scottish Power as their IAS39 hedge accountant (having previously known very little about hedge accounting! I like a challenge). Prior to working at Skyscanner I was group accountant at Worldmark, a position I held for around 2 and a half years. Worldmark is a global material science and manufacturing business in the electronics sector with operations in a dozen countries including China and North and South America. This gave me great experience working in an international company in a challenging market sector. The growth of Skyscanner over the last few years means I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in refinancing the business, employee option buy-backs, implementing new employee global share schemes, numerous acquisitions including Fogg (hotel metasearch business) and Youbibi (the Shenzhen (China) based travel metasearch site) as well as the challenges of overseeing the Finance operations across the 9 offices we now have across the world. We’re also currently implementing a new global FMS, creating process efficiencies and growing and helping to develop the impact of the Finance team across our international locations. I’m also a business mentor with Prince’s Trust, Youth Business Scheme (PTYBS).Interim CEO @ I’m currently on secondment to Skyscanner Japan as interim CEO.
