Billie O'Connor

During her career, understanding the consumer in both the Digital & Physical sense has been key for Billie. Whether it was as Digital FD at Selfridges and ensuring a focus on customer journey to deliver results, or when overseeing Financial Controls and Investment Projects for IT & Operations across 30 countries at Walgreens Boots Alliance, she says “a good FD makes sure it’s not just about the numbers!”.

The expansion of her role at Milk & More as CFO to include IT, Property, Procurement & Legal enables her to bring her experience across these different functions, and her management style means she develops high performing teams that learn leadership, the ability to fail fast and improve in a safe environment, and to be true business partners.

Billie’s passion extends beyond Finance – and as Co-Founder of NOVA, a professional female peer to peer community, she constantly drives the message that women in business should connect, collaborate, share and learn.
