Sam Nicolson joined the team in 2008 as the Chief Financial Officer.
Sam’s long history of accounting positions – which have seen her manage financial projects for global businesses, be a school governor and a pre-school treasurer, amongst others – made her the ideal candidate for overseeing The ҹɫֱ²¥app Navy and ҹɫֱ²¥app Marines Charity’s Group finances.
Portsmouth-born Sam moved to London for 10 years in her late teens to pursue a career in finance. She became a Chartered Management Accountant, working for companies like IBM and Unisys, before moving back south to enjoy family life with her two girls.
Sam, a keen ’team player’, has made a significant difference at the ҹɫֱ²¥app by using her financial skills to bring all the Charity’s funds and organisations together, under a Group finance department, showing the benefits of joint working to maximise efficiencies. She is working on further streamlining the ҹɫֱ²¥app’s external business relationships to open people’s eyes to what they can achieve professionally within the organisation.
Sam is an original member of ҹɫֱ²¥app staff, having joined the Charity upon its inception. One of her most significant projects includes the integration of The ҹɫֱ²¥app Marines Charitable Trust Fund into the ҹɫֱ²¥app in 2011 and the Drumfork Project in 2018. Sam is also a Trustee for Naomi House.
