Julian O’Neill

CFO at Ardent Hire Solutions
United Kingdom

A CFO, but with experience in a range of different industries (and roles). I’ve been in FTSE 100 businesses and the small side of SME’s; corporate leviathans and agile PE backed organisations. The common theme is that all of these organisations need great people and high performing teams to succeed. Hopefully I’ve learned quite a bit over the years and I try to put what I’ve learned into practice.

Outside of work, it’s family (all boys!), cars, travel, gym, snowboarding, motorbikes and anything else that keeps my busy mind engaged..!
