AI interview
A £2bn retailer is losing four points of margin year over year while revenue is flat. You have ten minutes with the CFO. Where do you start?
I'd frame margin as three levers — price, cost, and mix — before touching any data, so the CFO knows the shape of the answer. Flat revenue with falling margin usually isn't price; it's mix shifting to lower-margin lines or input cost outrunning it. So I'd ask for gross margin by category over eight quarters first…
Say the data shows it's mix. What's your recommendation?
Then it's a merchandising and promotion problem, not a cost program. I'd protect the high-margin lines in the planogram and reprice the promotions that are cannibalising them — and I'd quantify the two-point recovery before I'd stand behind it in the room.

Psychometrics
Reads as a high-ownership operator who stays effective in ambiguity and defaults to structure and executive-ready communication — a fit for a client that needs a vague mandate turned into a plan a board will sign off.
