Time to come clean:                                                          

In early 2016 I re-orientated my main business focus towards the following:

• As an Expert Witness in Supreme Court damages cases in two disciplines – ‘Marketing’ and ‘Finance’
• Financial modelling in the areas of ‘Linked P&L’s, Cash flow and Balance sheets’, ‘Future financial estimates & DCF Corporate valuations’, ‘Forecasting models (M&A’s & IPO’s)’, ‘Budget & Latest Estimate rolling models’, ‘Damages computation in legal or insurance cases (Expert witness)’, ‘Retail expansion models’ and anything else that can be modelled e.g., ‘Car fleet lease versus buy’ or ‘Cost, volume, profit relationships’, etc.
• Business projections & Corporate Valuations

My 2018 objective:

I hope to satisfy my thirst for intellectual satisfaction and use my unique combination of high level experience & education in both Marketing & Finance (an unusual but useful combination) to assist clients better understand the intricacies of their business and its future potentials

I will do this by:
