ABOUT CHRIS CHESSELL
I am a \"hands-on\" CFO with international experience in PE backed, family-owned and blue chip FMCG businesses, specializing in consumer good SME\'s with high growth and transformation agendas.About me, I really love Good Business. I also love being a Coach or Player of a High Performing Team. I particularly enjoy:* BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT->Harnessing the power of influencer marketing, I negotiated several celebrity endorsements and third party brand licenses giving rise to +30% increase in turnover. I also assisted in securing a ground-breaking, highly profitable technology that won the Queen’s Award for Innovation, 2016.*AQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES->I led the purchase of EGO Professional, a premium international haircare brand, and I assimilated Allegro Mfg Ltd (bags and accessories). I divested Rusk (toiletries) and Satin Smooth (wax depilation).*TRANSFORMATION->Working with key business partners, I redesigned the supply chain and warehouse facility boosting bottom line profitability by +1.25% thereafter.*FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT->I significantly improved procurement, stock control, returns, credit management saving +£1M annually.I believe my success is underpinned by thinking strategically, leading by example, and actively fostering relationships.In my free time I love to learn new things, travel, keep fit (body and mind), and spend time with my family, friends, and dog.
