Whiteark is a proud member of Femeconomy, an organisation that supports and empowers female leaders and entrepreneurs.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my leadership experience with Femeconomy's audience and to our followers too.

MY EXPERIENCE

Being a CFO at Whiteark, I have had the opportunity to lead our company through a period of immense change.

 I have been able to work with small and medium enterprises in order to help them achieve their goals.

WHAT IS OUR APPROACH?

Our approach is hands-on. We work with the Board, CEO, and Leadership team to understand the problem/opportunity and what is required to delivered on this.

 Our commercial experienced team is handpicked to ensure we help the organisation deliver on the outcomes.

As a proud entrepreneur, I strongly support Femeconomy's mission to inspire and empower women in the workplace.

I believe that providing Femeconomy's readers with insights on my career trajectory will allow them to identify components of their own professional journey that can be applied to any female-dominated industry.
