I am an accomplished Internal Audit executive with extensive experience in working with publicly traded companies in highly regulated industries. My proven leadership skills have allowed me to build and manage audit departments effectively, driving SOX compliance and integrating complex acquisitions. I have a deep expertise in financial and IT audits, risk assessment, and internal control frameworks, which has been recognized by my ability to communicate strategic insights effectively to Boards and Audit Committees.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Internal Audit at Independence Pet Holdings, where I lead the Internal Audit function, including the creation of audit charters and annual risk assessments. I have successfully integrated over 15 subsidiaries and two insurance carriers post-acquisition, ensuring cohesive SOX readiness and regulatory compliance. My role involves collaborating closely with executive teams to strengthen internal controls and mitigate enterprise-level risks, while also managing internal and external audit resources to optimize efficiency and effectiveness.

Prior to my current position, I held various roles at Independence Holding Company and Berdon LLP, where I developed and executed audit strategies, supervised audit teams, and provided clear objectives to ensure quality outcomes. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from the University of Delaware, and I hold certifications as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
