What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an FP&A leadership role where I can own strategic planning and board reporting, drive margin/value initiatives in growth or PE-backed settings, and build scalable, real-time analytics that help executives make faster decisions.

I’m a strategic FP&A finance executive with 10+ years of progressive leadership, including 7 years at Shutterfly where repeated promotions culminated in owning an $800M+ P&L as Head of Business Unit Finance. I partner directly with CEOs, CFOs, and PE operating partners on strategic planning, M&A integration, board reporting, and value creation initiatives—especially in complex, multi-brand, PE-backed environments.

At Shutterfly, I delivered $15M in margin improvement by leading executive-level performance reviews, identifying structural gaps like promotional leakage and cost-to-serve inefficiencies, and converting insights into targeted corrective actions. I also accelerated decision-making by deploying real-time Power BI dashboards tracking gross margin and unit economics, and I led long-range planning and budgeting processes to align merchandising, marketing, and operations on key assumptions and targets—while mentoring teams to elevate analytical rigor and executive storytelling.
