Hi, I am Celia, and I am the Head of Finance at Opticore. I joined the team in August 2021 with the objective of further developing the finance function. My role includes ensuring that all things finance are running smoothly whilst reporting to the Board on company performance. My position allows me to work alongside key stakeholders across the company which gives the finance function a good view of the wider business, in turn allowing me to add value to key business decisions.

I am originally from Spain where I started my studies in Business and then went on to obtain my master’s degree abroad in the Netherlands. I moved to the UK in 2012 when I qualified as FCCA.

I had previously worked in one of James Caan’s private equity portfolios and Engage ESM as part of the Atos Group, working in both SME and corporate environments. Being part of these companies has enabled me to understand where I want to take my career. I enjoy focusing on medium size companies that are undergoing significant growth. Using my experience, I can help build and develop the financial capability and provide advice on improving processes and efficiency.

Outside of work I love travelling, good food, and being active. Skiing is my top hobby and I make sure I go to the slopes every opportunity I have!
