Christine Cossor

I am an Australian now living and working in the UK.  The Australian upbringing contributes to my pragmatic yet hard working approach to life, work and problem-solving. I have a Graduate Diploma in Banking and Finance, an MBA and am currently working towards my Doctorate in Business Administration. I have previously started up and ran my own small business as well as being an employee for various organisations.

Over the years, I have worked with a variety of stakeholders in Australia, America, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK. This enables me to allow for cultural differences, while gaining valuable experience in a variety of markets.

My experience covers three main areas:

1. Working with and advising clients on financial markets products such as Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange and Derivatives
2. Designing and training in a wide range of topics such as selling, problem solving, strategy, managing cash flows and derivatives.
3. Providing personal development guidance and coaching services

This unique combination of experience allows me to bring a very practical, rather than just theoretical, approach to working with business owners to help solve problems and improve their profits.
