Fergal Walshe

I am a high-performance CFO with an unbroken record of increasing operational/financial performance and shareholder value for Real Estate, Professional Service, and Tech start-up, emerging, and high-growth enterprises. Equally comfortable working in large established organisations and in smaller entrepreneurial firms with a particular expertise is in balancing strategic big-picture thinking with short-term delivery; leading strategic initiatives that unlock shareholder value, streamlining business operations, driving growth and profitability. In the course of my multi-level career I have delivered strong day-to-day financial control, budgeting, working capital management, and financial/IT system development and implementation. My colleagues know me as quick, decisive, and highly strategic in identifying, evaluating, selecting, and executing the right options to drive company valuation, whether controlling costs, expanding through acquisition, or driving growth and profitability initiatives, driven by the common theme of maximising returns to shareholders. Collaborative and inclusive, I remain cool under pressure and become energised by high-risk and high-reward opportunities. An innovative and seasoned leader who can lead and empower teams to give the maximum of their capacity to the business.
