@alextorelli
MBA strategy and finance professional focused on M&A, value creation, and capital allocation.
What I'm looking for
I am an MBA-trained strategy and finance professional with seven years of experience across operations, corporate finance, and strategy. I have led strategic initiatives including M&A carve-outs, capital allocation projects, and operating-model design, consistently delivering measurable value such as liquidity improvements, cost savings, and recovered funds.
I combine quantitative rigor—financial modeling, VBA automation, and scenario planning—with strong stakeholder engagement and change-management skills to drive execution from analysis through Day 1 readiness. I am actively seeking consulting or advisory roles in M&A strategy, execution, and value creation where I can expand impact and lead high-value transactions.
