Most CFOs can report on EBITDA. Richard Grant builds it. Over a 25+ year career in PE-backed companies, Richard has designed and executed the financial strategies that turned underperforming divisions into high-multiple exit candidates, delivering 9.8x EBITDA growth in a global CPG division and 9.2x in an beverage distribution business. These weren’t incremental gains. They were structural transformations built on pricing architecture, margin improvement initiatives, structured purchasing using hedging strategies, developing a SIOP process, vendor negotiation, SKU rationalization, logistics and tariff optimization and expense management.
Richard’s approach to financial strategy starts with understanding where margin is being lost and why. He builds scalable financial frameworks that connect pricing decisions to P&L outcomes, align vendor terms to working capital targets, and give leadership teams real-time visibility into the drivers of EBITDA. He has deployed enterprise analytics platforms, integrated Power BI dashboards, and restructured FP&A functions to make financial intelligence an operating tool, not a monthly report.
As both a CFO and former COO, Richard brings a rare combination of financial precision and operational accountability. He doesn’t hand a strategy to management and walk away; he works alongside the team to make sure it executes. That hands-on partnership is what turns a financial plan into a financial result.
