Emma brings something different to the role. As the founder of Enterprise Nation, she built a platform reaching 800,000+ businesses. She understands technology. She understands scale. Most importantly, she understands that manual processes don't work for modern business.

"We will make life easier for small business owners by leveraging technology to speed up payments," Emma stated on taking the role. This isn't bureaucratic speak. This is a technology entrepreneur who's seen what works.

What This Means for CFOs

Emma's appointment validates what forward-thinking CFOs already know: manual compliance processes are becoming obsolete. The October 2025 Procurement Act requirements aren't just about ticking boxes. They're about building systems that work.

Emma's focus on "freeing up time and money" through digital solutions aligns perfectly with what CFOs need: automated compliance that delivers ROI, not just regulatory tick-boxes.

The Technology-First Approach

Emma's background tells us everything about where payment reform is heading:

  • Enterprise Nation reached 800,000 businesses through digital platforms
  • She co-founded StartUp Britain, driving record entrepreneurship through technology
  • She served as SME Representative for Crown Commercial Service, understanding both sides of the payment equation

This isn't someone who thinks technology is "nice to have." This is someone who knows it's essential.

What CFOs Should Expect

Emma's appointment signals three key changes:

  • Technology-driven solutions will be prioritized over manual processes
  • Measurable outcomes will matter more than good intentions
  • Digital infrastructure will become the standard for compliance

CFOs at £54M+ turnover companies can't afford to wait. The new Commissioner isn't interested in companies that "try their best" with spreadsheets and manual tracking. She wants systems that work.
