ABOUT TOBY BLOOM

I’m an ambitious, results-driven finance leader with a proven track record of transforming performance, unlocking efficiencies, and driving commercial growth across FMCG and pharmaceutical industries.What sets me apart is my ability to combine technical finance expertise with a clear commercial lens. I don’t just produce numbers — I translate them into actionable insights that drive accountability, strengthen decision-making, and deliver sustainable impact. From simplifying brand portfolios and generating multimillion-pound cost benefits, to embedding financial discipline and enhancing forecasting accuracy, my focus has always been on creating measurable value.I thrive on leading teams, building capability, and fostering a culture of accountability and ownership. At Smith & Nephew, I spearheaded training initiatives that upskilled leadership, improved reporting accuracy by 50%, and ensured data-driven decision-making at every level. At Reckitt, I delivered over £4m in site cost benefits through strategic projects, efficiency programmes, and operational improvements that boosted profitability and performance.Colleagues know me as proactive, approachable, and driven — someone who is as comfortable challenging at board level as I am mentoring and developing the next generation of finance talent. I believe finance is more than control; it’s about enabling growth, guiding strategy, and making an organisation fitter, stronger, and more future-ready.Highly motivated and highly dedicated, I bring energy, focus, and resilience to everything I do. I thrive in environments where change is constant, challenges are complex, and the expectation is to deliver more with less.

Style: Insightful, results-focused, collaborative, accountable.I’m always open to connecting with professionals who share a passion for performance, transformation, and strategic growth.
