Advisory

Built for mandates where the balance sheet is the strategy.

The practice serves boards, sovereign institutions, and investors in regulated infrastructure, healthcare, and sovereign-adjacent businesses. Every offer below is grounded in work already delivered, quantified on the track record page, and shaped by one playbook: rebuild the finance function, fix the governance, then let capital strategy do its work.

What I do

  1. Capital strategy for infrastructure-scale balance sheets

    Funding strategy, capital allocation, and investor-grade business cases for organisations whose balance sheet carries the strategy: utilities, healthcare platforms, and sovereign-adjacent businesses preparing for private capital. The work runs from long-range plans and term financing to sale-and-leaseback structures and exit readiness.

    $40bn asset base · $1.2bn+ transactions & funding · $107mn and $120mn facilities secured

  2. Finance function design and transformation

    Operating model, organisation design, and the delivery portfolio that moves a finance function from scorekeeper to steward. From role profiles and competency frameworks to ERP, unified charts of accounts, and activity-based costing.

    $160mn portfolio · $80mn modelled savings · 32 role profiles

  3. Governance, stage gates, and audit committee readiness

    Accountability architecture, segregation of duties, and the stage gates that let boards approve with confidence. Includes audit committee support grounded in 25 years of FCA and FCCA discipline on both sides of the audit relationship.

    15 accountability conflicts resolved · five private equity boards

  4. Concession, PPP, and commercial-contract finance

    Commercial gates, fiduciary controls, and financing mechanisms for water purchase, transmission, treatment, and long-term O&M agreements anchored in Saudi PSP law. The same architecture extends to payer-provider models and public-private regulatory design.

    Concession RFP co-author · PSP-aligned commercial gates

  5. Healthcare economics and payer-provider reform

    Value-based care, benefits package design, tariff economics, and the service-level agreements that make purchaser-provider splits work. Grounded in seven years inside the Saudi health transformation and CFO chairs in London and Jeddah.

    $32bn budget · 5,000 facilities · 12 per cent tariff uplift negotiated

How we work together

Non-executive director and committees

Board, audit committee, and remuneration committee mandates where the contribution is translation: between management ambition and investor-grade discipline, and between government counterparties and private capital.

Fits: regulated infrastructure · healthcare · sovereign-adjacent boards

Fractional and interim CFO

Full CFO judgement for the 12 to 36 months around a transaction, a concession award, or a finance function rebuild, for businesses that need the capability now without a permanent appointment.

Fits: pre-transaction · privatisation readiness · post-deal rebuild

Transformation adviser and leader

Defined engagements, programme leadership, or standing adviser relationships for ministries, sovereign funds, and national champions turning reform mandates into working financial systems.

Fits: sovereign programmes · national utilities · health systems

I am open to non-executive director, audit committee, advisory, and C-Suite conversations in regulated infrastructure, healthcare, and sovereign-adjacent businesses.
