Bio
Neil Smith
When I took on the role of Finance Director at Vodafone Global Enterprise, I immediately asked Anil to join me. We had some fairly complex challenges to overcome and Anil's ability to understand, influence and drive solutions all the way to the very end, is very rare in my experience. He was also always a joy to work with. Whether you were working for him, with him or one of the many being cajoled to do what he needed, he and you always came out the other side with a smile. An asset in anyone's team.

If there is a finance challenge to be solved, you want Anil owning it. On complex issues Anil gives confidence that it will be resolved, and you’ll enjoy the process whilst getting it done. The more stakeholders the more Anil shines in the ‘how’ as much as the ‘what’ gets done. Working with Anil you will feel the passion and energy to achieve together, Anil’s drive is infectious. Maybe the only greater pleasure than working with Anil, is if you get the chance to work for him. I have seen Anil motivate, mentor and inspire many people in very large and small teams. Bringing people to a common goal, feeling a sense of purpose really does get that extra performance out of teams whilst doing it with a smile on their face.
