Wednesday has 11 calendar entries starting at 09:00 with no gaps of significance. Meetings run: 10:00 Interviews, 11:00 Interviews, 12:00 Treasury Strategy (T), 13:15 RF2 Review (T), 14:30 Viktor Walkthrough, 15:00 Max, 15:30 Treasury 1:1 (T), 16:00 Finance Leadership (T), 16:30 Rob, 17:00 Seamus.

ACTION TONIGHT — T143: EOM Report Update → Share with Gavin/Mike
Zoom AI flagged: review and update proposed end-of-month report version — share with the group tonight or tomorrow. Given tomorrow's schedule, tonight is the realistic window. This feeds directly into T144 (with Mike: get report live for March) and T145 (request Claude data template).
T148 — RAISE AT FINANCE LEADERSHIP CATCH-UP (16:00 Wed)
Gavin flagged: flux reports on 17 April nearly impossible without close at COP 8 April. Easter impact: UK/IRE 3/6 Apr, Serbia 10/13 Apr. Jean is catching up with Niall + EM tomorrow. This needs to be formally raised at the 16:00 Finance Leadership Catch-Up with Elias, Jean & Adria. There's a direct dependency: if Easter timing isn't locked now, the April close will be a mess.
T151 — SAL-1669 (Seamus) — Resolution Plan Needed Before Seamus 1:1 at 17:00
Seamus Barry commented on SAL-1669 in Jira requesting a resolution plan. This is also on the Seamus 1:1 agenda. Don't walk into the 17:00 meeting without having reviewed this Jira ticket first. Prepare your resolution position before the meeting — even a draft position is better than starting cold.
T140 — RF2 Call at 13:15 — Check in with Gavin BEFORE the meeting
T140 due tomorrow: check in with Gavin on RF2 approach before the 13:15 call (Gavin, Elias, Kevin). W177 captures this WF from Gavin. Niall's ask: what does Gavin want to get from the call? Align on approach before going into the room. RF2 target is 53m Adj EBITDA — this is a material call.
LEAVE PREP — T141 + T142 — Gary + Momcilo before end of Wed
Niall is away next week. T141: Check with Gary (risks/gotchas + Ramp call outcome + Sinead convo). T142: Brief Momcilo on what Sinead needs to own on Ramp. Both due tomorrow. Rob 1:1 (16:30) is also a leave-critical touchpoint — recs, handover, state of play.

🎤 Interview Prep — Finance Business Partner (GDC & G&A)
Both interviews are 2nd-round with Dijana Kocmanovic. Full prep document at
/work/niall/meetings/prep/interview-prep-2026-03-25.md
10:00 — Catherine Sarah (O'Sullivan) Assi
ACCA · Finance BP Manager at SIRO · Strong data skills · No iGaming background
Strength: €7m/month CapEx FBP, automation mindset, SAP/Python/SQL, pursing Data Analytics diploma. Manages team of 3.
Watch: Zero iGaming sector experience — probe whether she understands GDC's revenue model. CapEx vs revenue/margin mindset shift. Individual contributor readiness (she currently manages a team).
⚠️ "Jan 2022 – Aug 2023 | Remote" FBP role on CV has no employer name — may be same as SIRO. Clarify.
11:00 — Eoin O'Keeffe
ACCA · Currently Commercial & Finance Director at Betline Brokers · 7 yrs iGaming affiliate (Thimba Media)
Strength: Deep iGaming affiliate FP&A (Thimba/One Twenty Group = direct competitor set). Speaks the language — FTDs, deposits, multi-entity, affiliate KPIs. Covered Head of Finance twice.
Watch: Why leaving Betline after only ~14 months as Director? Director → FBP = title step down (will he be frustrated?). G&A partnering exposure unclear. Technical toolkit thinner (no SQL/Python).
⚠️ Date overlap on CV: L'Estrange & Co dates match Thimba dates exactly — likely formatting error. Ask to clarify.
Decision frame: Eoin = sector insider who hits the ground running. Catherine = stronger FBP structure & data skills but needs commercial onboarding. Right choice depends on whether GDC needs domain expertise or methodological rigour first.
