ABOUT ALAN DONALD
Over three decades in senior finance roles has shaped the way I work with boards, CEOs and investors. I bring a global perspective, deep governance experience, and a pragmatic commercial lens to every conversation. From AIM-listed groups to private equity-backed ventures and multinationals, I\'ve helped organisations transform, grow, and manage risk at scale.At Ten Lifestyle Group, I led the finance function through COVID, maintained a net cash position, and supported 35% annual revenue growth post-pandemic. Prior roles include steering Saga Travel through a strategic turnaround, delivering a 65% increase in divisional EBITDA, and supporting M&A across multiple markets. Across all roles, I’ve built high-performing finance teams, improved business partnering, and driven performance through sharper financial discipline and strategic insight.I understand the dynamics of change: navigating uncertainty, aligning stakeholders, and building the infrastructure for sustained performance. My board-level value lies in commercial strategy, governance, M&A, and operational transformation. I work well in complex, regulated and customer-focused environments, particularly those under investor scrutiny or going through change.Key strengths include: Strategic planning & execution Turnaround & transformation Investor relations & fundraising Financial leadership in listed & PE-backed environments Global operations & shared services Risk, controls & governance M&A strategy and post-deal integrationI prefer delivering value quietly over broadcasting credentials. If you\'re scaling, shifting direction, or navigating complexity, I\'d welcome the conversation.
