Businesses across the world need skilled treasury professionals, which means, if you are so inclined, you can potentially travel the world with a career in treasury.

Brendan Boucher, Group Treasurer of Compass Group Plc, can certainly confirm that. Brendan’s career has taken him across the world, from Moscow to Vienna to Dubai, in roles with FTSE100 mainstays to startups fresh out the gate.

Brendan has held his role at Compass Group Plc since January 2018. Prior to this, he was Group Treasurer at AstraZeneca, Petrofac Limited (based in Dubai) and OMV AG (based in Vienna). Brendan is a chartered accountant and Fellow of the Association of Corporate Treasurers.
