When they were not performing well, I was involved in analyzing and proposing interventions in the business When they were not performing well, I was involved in financial modelling for potential debt-funded acquisitions (such as a $1bn acquisition) and new growth projects (CAPEX and M&A). I’ve always been involved in multi-year forecasts tied to business growth, led executive-level monthly reviews, scenario analysis, to help our CFO and CEO tell their story to the street.
