Background

About Daniel Higgins

As a highly accomplished finance and strategy leader, I bring over a decade of senior management experience within complex multinational environments across various sectors including Manufacturing, R&D, Industrials, and Agriculture. My passion for leadership and innovation has driven me to successfully lead cross-functional teams through organisational transformations and projects, consistently delivering exceptional operational services and strategic insights that drive business growth. My international experience, including living abroad and working in global strategic roles, has developed my cultural awareness and a global perspective that complement my technical expertise and qualifications as a Chartered Accountant (CA) and as a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD). I have supplemented this with an Executive MBA from the Melbourne Business School. I drive success by influencing and developing others, fostering collaboration, and cultivating a diverse and highly engaged organisational culture. I excel in analysing and interpreting data, making informed decisions, and delivering results in ambiguous and dynamic business environments. My strategic foresight and consulting experience enables me to effectively develop and implement long-term growth strategies. Throughout my career, I have successfully: • Driven corporate and business transformations, including organisational and legal entity restructures • Addressed key governance and compliance topics, acting as a representative with external parties • Launched new business models and established high-value commercial arrangements with customers • Completed several multi-million dollar M&A transactions in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America • Project managed global strategic projects, such as business carve-outs, as a Strategic Management Consultant
