Julius is a seasoned finance and senior management executive with a track record of building businesses, driving profitability, and leading teams through growth and change. Julius’s industry experience includes media, events, professional services, software, and non-profit organizations.
With over 20 years in finance leadership roles, Julius specializes in helping founder-led and growth-focused businesses scale effectively. His expertise spans financial management and reporting, business planning, cashflow management, fundraising support, and operational restructuring — critical areas for companies building toward their next stage.
As CFO and later CEO of a $35M events business (IMN), Julius developed and executed strategies that grew profits by 20% annually and successfully navigated the company through economic downturns. Earlier, at Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, he managed financial reporting, M&A integration, and corporate tax planning across a global portfolio of businesses, providing him with a deep understanding of financial operations in diverse environments.
At Sentify, a global tech consulting firm, Julius built the finance function from the ground up, introduced scalable processes, and helped launch the U.S. business to profitability within six months — an experience that mirrors the needs of today’s growing startups and entrepreneurial organizations.
Julius brings a business-minded, hands-on style to finance leadership. He is as comfortable setting up foundational financial processes as he is advising CEOs on strategic growth, profitability, and capital allocation. His background working internationally, managing distributed teams, and aligning financial management to business goals makes him an invaluable partner for companies looking to build disciplined, resilient, and growth-ready organizations.
Julius began his career at KPMG. He is a Chartered Accountant (Australia/New Zealand) and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Victoria University.
