About

With over 20 years of experience, Spencer leads the CFO and Finance Transformation practice at Venari Partners, partnering with CFOs, investors, and transformation leaders to build high-performing finance teams and deliver complex change programmes. He specialises in executive search and interim appointments across capital-intensive sectors, including life sciences, aviation, transport, infrastructure, industrials, and FMCG.


Before moving into executive search, Spencer spent over a decade in general management, commercial and operational finance roles within the automotive and retail sectors, building and leading high performing teams, managing multi-million valued P&Ls and driving profitability through strategic improvements. He has also built and sold independent businesses, bringing a practical, entrepreneurial mindset to every client engagement.


Based in Oxford with his young family, Spencer splits his time between London and international travel to meet clients and build long-term partnerships. Outside of work, he’s passionate about fitness, boxing, and classic cars, with a small collection of modern classics he enjoys tinkering with when he’s not busy being a dad to his two little girls.
