    Advantis is a business process outsourcing company providing debt recovery and credit management services to clients across a range of market sectors including central government, utilities, financial services, and telecoms operating in the United Kingdom. Employing more than 250 team members, it recovers in excess of £180million (€212m) per year for its clients.
    As the CEO, I led the business through significant growth and market change, including the introduction of a new regulatory body, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). As a regulated firm, I held FCA Approved Persons status for more than six years.
    Working within a strict regulatory regime, I developed a robust compliance function and risk management framework and introduced sophisticated commercial operating models, financial forecasting, and business analytics. Under my guidance, the company saw significant sustained growth to become one of the largest and most successful in the industry.

I continued in my role as CEO at Advantis after the acquisition for a further two and a half years until I relocated to France.
