Transforming Hospitality Businesses through Numbers
The Dodo Australia Years (2004–2010)
Alistair’s odyssey began in 2004 when he joined Dodo Australia Pty Ltd, a trailblazing telecommunications company that offered affordable services in Australia Wide. Alistair assumed the role of Financial Controller, marking the genesis of his financial leadership journey. Dodo Australia, ever-evolving since its inception in 2001, provided services spanning mobile broadband, VoIP, home and car insurance, and gas and electricity.
As the Financial Controller at Dodo, Alistair’s expertise transcended traditional financial roles. He was the guiding force behind product growth, the opening of retail stores, the establishment of overseas call centers, and efficient billing practices. His ability to scrutinize and streamline financial processes bore substantial fruit. Alistair orchestrated a reduction in the size of the finance team, a decrease in the cost of goods, and a profound enhancement in billing analysis. These accomplishments brought about substantial improvements in the company’s profitability, setting the stage for his future endeavors.
