Bio
Luke A Austin
I highly recommend Brian as an experienced, multi-skilled senior executive and CFO. I worked with Brian over an extensive period at Huawei, often dealing with difficult issues in a rapidly changing environment, and I learned a great deal from him. He has deep experience in the financial management of corporations at the CFO level, as well as operational management and human resources management. He has an engaging leadership style with an emphasis on empowerment and collaboration.

I worked for Brian in Huawei Australian office driving the business process reengineering and optimization, especially the Lead to Cash CRM system implementation. There are two things I admire Brian the most. First is his management style. He showed supreme capability and professionalism to organize his team together effectively and efficiently with great culture acumen and business acumen. Under his executive sponsorship, guidance and support, the LTC process was successfully implemented. Under his direct management, the ARO finance team structure was optimized, internal processes were streamlined and business objectives were achieved above target. Secondly, he is an extremely experienced CFO with strong finance background, but at the same time he has in-depth knowledge about business process reengineering, IT application implementation as well as enterprise risk management. Personally I learned a lot from Brian and I enjoyed working with him and would like to recommend Brian to any organization.
