My journey in the healthcare sector has been marked by a relentless pursuit in best in class and a dedication to building motivated teams and impactful businesses that make a difference.

With over a decade of finance and commercial experience in the healthcare industry, I have had the privilege of co-founding Riverdale Healthcare, a provider of NHS dental services across the UK.

Now, as part of the dynamic team at PHL Group, I am honoured to lead the finance function and support the company’s growth strategy as we continue our exciting journey. Throughout this journey, the values of ‘Truly Care,’ ‘Team First,’ and ‘Pioneering Innovation‘ serve as guiding principles, driving our mission to deliver exceptional patient care and innovative solutions to challenges within the healthcare market.

My role involves managing investor relationships and navigating the funding requirements for our ambitious growth strategy, all while upholding our core values and ensuring that we continue to deliver first-class solutions for patients and support the challenges facing the NHS and the broader healthcare sector.

At PHL Group, we are committed to truly caring for the wellbeing of our patients, putting the needs of our team members first, and pioneering innovative approaches to transform healthcare. I am proud to be part of a team that shares these values and is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities across the globe. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare and strive to create a brighter, healthier future for all.
