Bio
Professor Craig Mahoney
Vivek delivered two 3 hour virtual training sessions on understanding, interpreting and questioning finance reports to my colleagues at the University of Law during 2022. He has an exceptionally good style, engaging colleagues through interaction and short quizzes, bringing finance to life in a non-threatening and collaborative manner. He was able to take difficult concepts and make them real and understandable to senior colleagues in non-finance roles. His ability to run virtual workshops is exemplary during which he captivates the group, keeps them engaged and is able to handle off task questions and topics that enable the whole group to benefit. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting sessions on finance for non-finance people.

Vivek delivered a seminar for the Arden finance team on IFRS compared to UK GAAP. He had clearly done his homework on our business- the seminar was very relevant and delivered in an interesting, collaborative and interactive manner. The team came away from the day feeling enthused, significantly more knowledgeable and with some practical areas to be addressed. Vivek did a great job for us and we are very grateful. Highly recommended.

I have known and worked with Vivek for a number of years. As a learning and development professional, he is simply the best finance trainer I have ever engaged with. Feedback from delegates is always excellent, not only do they all learn more than they expected before attending, they are surprised by how much they enjoyed his workshops.
