Caroline Young – Financial Controller

"Finance is the key support function of the business - I'm the scorekeeper, the banker, the analyst, and the conscience of the company."

Caroline has been part of Umbrellar’s journey since before it was even called Umbrellar! She’s seen it grow from a domain name registrar to a major cloud solutions provider, and she’s been in the financial control room every step of the way.

Her role has evolved dramatically, from being part of the finance team to leading it entirely - and she’s embraced every challenge along the way.

The biggest misconception about the cloud? That it’s only for large enterprises. “Small and medium businesses can benefit just as much - if not more - from leveraging the cloud.”

Her must-have tech gadget? Her iPhone. “How did I even survive childhood without it?”

Beyond the spreadsheets, Caroline is raising two teenage daughters to be incredible women, loves to whip up a feast in the kitchen for friends, and used to own a bookshop - her love for reading and travel is still going strong.

Her go-to IT wisdom?
✔ Best:"Save your work regularly."
✖ Worst:"Rebooting fixes 90% of problems." (Though let’s be honest, it often does.)
