Bio
Thomas Pleydell
Charlotte's experience regarding the purpose and mission of a both an FP&A department and the role of Group FP&A within that construct has meant that there was a clear path towards introducing new ways of thinking about metrics, financial information in a way that enabled us to look at the business in a more insightful manner. Photobox is the first B2C company that I have worked with and having Charlotte's deep retail knowledge, was really helpful to draw upon. Our 1-1s were opportunities to bounce ideas around and for her to provide challenge. She is very commercially minded and I find she is super helpful to bounce ideas back against. What is most helpful is that Charlotte will always coach rather than teach, I find that this approach helped me to settle my thinking and is invaluable. She understood my working style and flexed her management style to best support me. She leads by example, and is always looking for continuous improvement and for that to become embedded across the organisation. Her ambition is clear and I hope that it doesn't dull with time as it is inspirational to see someone so young so far ahead with their career!

Charlotte is a great team player who consistently delivered high quality work. Of particular note is her ability to clearly identify issues and provide innovative solutions that are both efficient to deliver, and effective in solving the problem.
