This candidate is a highly capable and engaging finance and investment professional with over 15 years of experience spanning M&A, corporate development, FP&A, and project finance across infrastructure, logistics, energy, and technology sectors. They presented with a warm and professional style during the behavioural interview and provided clear, well-structured examples demonstrating strong alignment to strategic leadership roles.

Their career reflects a consistent focus on strategy execution, investment leadership, and operational performance. Highlights include leading the acquisition and integration of Australia's largest LPG tanker fleet—delivering 93% of synergy targets within 90 days—as well as shaping multi-year investment strategies and financial forecasts for a $1.5B logistics portfolio in Brazil. They have also driven capital strategy and cross-border growth at a digital asset firm, aligning strategic and commercial roadmaps.

With over a decade of M&A and deal leadership experience, they have managed transactions from $25M to $600M in value, including asset-intensive, regulated, and cross-border deals. This includes capital raises, due diligence, and post-merger integrations—supported by strong capabilities in valuation, feasibility modelling, and negotiation.

They have sourced and screened acquisition targets in logistics, infrastructure, and supply chain environments, and have led early-stage engagements with vendors. This includes extensive experience developing investment theses and assessing strategic fit across industrial sectors.

Hands-on, field-based due diligence is a standout strength. They have led diligence efforts involving depot inspections, fleet condition assessments, and operational risk evaluations—emphasising the value of first-hand insights from frontline teams. This includes conducting environmental due diligence and engaging directly with mechanical and logistics teams to inform integration planning and execution.

Their cross-sector experience includes:

Port and rail infrastructure (Brazil)

LPG logistics and transport (Australia)

Renewable energy and mining (EY)

Refrigerated fleet logistics and supply chain (Private Equity)

They have also demonstrated strong communication and stakeholder engagement across C-suite, board members, operational leads, and external investors. Their ability to align strategy with execution has been demonstrated across high-stakes deal environments, where they’ve built trust quickly with both executive sponsors and blue-collar teams.

This candidate brings a powerful mix of financial strategy leadership, industrial sector depth, and operational pragmatism. Their ability to translate high-level strategy into actionable outcomes, particularly in asset-intensive, operationally complex environments, positions them as a valuable asset for organisations seeking commercially minded, execution-focused leadership.
