What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth, where I can leverage my expertise in financial systems and data analysis.

I am a Financial Systems Manager and certified Netsuite Administrator with nearly a decade of experience in supporting, customizing, and implementing Netsuite across various environments, including manufacturing and SaaS. My passion lies in problem-solving and automation, which has driven me to excel in my roles and deliver impactful solutions.

At ThriveDX, I took on the challenge of fixing a fresh Netsuite implementation, working closely with international subsidiaries to streamline processes and enhance user experience. I successfully implemented a BI/data solution for Netsuite and integrated various systems to automate workflows, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Previously, at Jacuzzi Group, I led IT system consultants and collaborated with finance teams to automate month-end close processes. My experience includes developing metrics and dashboards, enhancing system functionalities, and driving significant improvements in financial reporting and analysis. I am committed to leveraging my skills to contribute to a forward-thinking organization.
