Gavin Schubert's Linkedin Analytics

I’m an experienced corporate governance and business operations leader who delivers operations transparency and governance for global firms, specialising in back office operations such as IT, finance, procurement, and HR. I also advise on improvement initiatives to integrate these units better, which improves the experience for stakeholders. I have a proven track record of delivering successful initiatives across international borders, and providing ongoing leadership. I lead entire improvement cycles – from discovery and advice to planning and delivery – and ensure that the solutions I provide are sustainable and scalable. Some of my key achievements include: • Developing and implementing a management accounting framework that increased transparency, accountability, and efficiency for an IT organisation responsible for over $300m in expenditure. • Establishing and enforcing governance policies and standards that ensured compliance with company policies, strategies, and best practices. This impacted multiple asset portfolios valued at over $1bn. • Optimising productivity and efficiency using data-driven tools and methodologies. • Identifying and advising solutions for a range of IT, financial, and HR issues in a major corporate transformation programme at an FT Global 500 firm. • Managing communication and building trust between departments with strained relationships. • Offering the frank and fearless advice required for effective executive decision making. I’m passionate about continuous improvement and innovation, and I’m always looking for new ways to add value. I drive a management culture that incentivises improvements in value and effectiveness. I also enjoy mentoring and coaching others, sharing my insights and best practices. I am available for permanent executive or Chief of Staff opportunities and to lead consulting engagements in the UK, Ireland and EU/EEA. Location and travel are negotiable. I am also available for offshore opportunities if travel requirements are reasonable, or if the position is remote. If you’re looking for a trusted advisor who can improve your firm’s governance and transparency, or an executive focused on delivering a continuous improvement management culture that drives both value and results, reach out by DM.
