Addedo is adding two Senior Consultants to the team. Addedo is delighted to welcome Chul Smith and Mohammed Khan who will be based in the UK, and work for the UK and international team.
Mr Smith joins Addedo from Carlson Companies Inc, one of the largest privately held corporations in the world, employing about 190 000 people in nearly 150 countries, providing travel, hotel, restaurant, cruise and marketing services – where he has held a number of senior positions ranging from Accountant to System Manager and Senior Financial Analyst. Among Mr Smith’s achievements is having been the main lead in the complex data integration and conversion processes of newly acquired companies within the group. Furthermore, Mr Smiths has developed models and processes for budget and forecast systems across business units at Carlson Companies Inc.
Mr. Khan joins Addedo from Grosvenor Ltd – a group of international property businesses with total assets under management of 30 billion USD. Mr Khan started working for Grosvenor in March 2006 as Group Systems Manager. In his role he has been responsible for management and development of the global finance systems across Grosvenor’s group of companies including the consolidation (Cognos) and ledger (MRI) systems. Prior to this, Mr Khan had several similar senior positions at Orange Telecommunications, AOL Europe and TMP Worldwide working with systems from Hyperion, Oracle and SAP.
Mr. Arnold Warhonowicz, Consultancy Manager Addedo UK, comments, “the recruitment of Chul Smith and Mohammed Khan is a part of our overall capability development strategy as we further build the business over the coming years. The two high performers are the first of a series of hires we are planning to make the next 24 months.
“I find it a fine advantage and competitive edge to be able to relate to the business issues and challenges that clients are experiencing. This is what we have found in Mohammed Khan “ someone who has been on both sides.”, adds Mr. Warhonowicz, and continues.
The broad experience from various senior finance functions at a service conglomerate such as Carlson Companies that Chul Smith represents is very valuable for us. We will try to leverage this with some of our customers to expand on our offerings to Group Finance. This is a strategic objective for us working towards becoming a complete and preferred partner to Group Finance.
