Boldyn Networks Welcomes Sara Dickinson as New Group CFO
Boldyn Networks, recognized as one of the largest shared network infrastructure providers globally, has announced the exciting appointment of Sara Dickinson as its new Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This strategic move comes as the company aims to strengthen its leadership as it navigates through pivotal growth opportunities.
Sara’s extensive background spans several key finance roles in both the public and private sectors, making her a valuable addition to the Boldyn team. Before joining Boldyn, she was the CFO at BSI, a prominent global services company that operates in over 60 countries. During her tenure there, Sara was instrumental in spearheading a major transformation of the business, reshaping its operating model to enhance efficiency and performance. This expertise in driving financial strategies will be critical as Boldyn continues to expand its footprint in the telecommunications industry.
Prior to her significant role at BSI, Sara spent five years at Expedia Group, where she held senior finance positions including Senior Vice President and CFO for the B2B division. Her leadership was notable during a high-growth period for Expedia, showcasing her ability to guide large organizations through rapid change and increased demand. Additionally, her experience at Costa Coffee and Sage plc further cements her reputation as a seasoned professional in financial management and strategy.
Igor Leprince, Boldyn’s CEO, expressed his enthusiasm regarding Sara's appointment, noting, "I am delighted to welcome Sara to our executive team during this exciting phase for our business. She is not only a proven CFO with extensive experience in complex international businesses with digital and technological components, but she also excels in guiding companies through growth, transformation, and acquisitions. Sara's expertise in leading change is invaluable. Furthermore, she aligns perfectly with our culture and values at Boldyn."
As Stephen Matthews, the previous CFO, transitions back to Australia after nearly 12 years of exemplary financial leadership at Boldyn, he will play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth onboarding process for Sara. Stephen has been pivotal in overseeing Boldyn’s integration and growth strategies, laying a robust foundation for his successor.
In response to her new role, Sara remarked, "I'm very excited to join Boldyn Networks and support the company's unstoppable growth, driven by its strong values. Boldyn is a game changer in the technology industry and is disrupting many sectors with shared connectivity that's sustainable and cost-efficient. I'm thrilled to be part of this journey."
Sara’s appointment marks a significant step for Boldyn Networks as it continues to innovate within the telecommunications field, and her rich experience is expected to lead the company towards new horizons of success. As the demand for shared connectivity escalates, having a seasoned financial leader like Sara at the helm is crucial for navigating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
