Net Zero Search Candidate Summary:

This candidate is a fund-side CFO at their core, with over 20 years of experience across private equity, listed investment trusts, and complex multi-entity investment structures.

Big Four–trained, they have spent the majority of their career acting as the internal financial authority for investment platforms—representing finance to Boards, regulators, and investors rather than operating at asset or project level.

Most recently, they were the first hire and CFO of a London-listed energy transition fund, building the full finance, governance, and operational infrastructure from inception through IPO and into portfolio management and wind-down.

Key Achievements:

• CFO of a London-listed investment trust, leading finance, treasury, and operations through IPO (£120m raised) and subsequent portfolio deployment.

• First employee in a start-up fund manager, building finance, compliance, reporting, HR, and company secretarial functions from scratch.

• Managed finance and reporting across LPs, LLPs, trusts, and adviser entities, with board-level reporting under IFRS, UK GAAP, and US GAAP.

• Previously oversaw fund accounting, valuations, and reporting for 13 private equity funds (~$6bn AUM) within a global investment platform.

• Extensive experience across international fund structures, including the UK, Luxembourg, Bermuda, Mauritius, and Hong Kong, working closely with auditors, tax advisors, and regulators.
