What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and strategic growth opportunities.

I am a Senior Director of Finance & Strategy with over 20 years of experience in capacity planning, FP&A, and operations management within high-growth and Fortune 500 technology companies. My expertise lies in driver-based forecasting, scenario planning, and data analytics, which I leverage to inform strategic decision-making and enhance operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully driven significant revenue growth and improved operational margins. At VMware, I led the strategy and operations for the SASE business unit, achieving 200% revenue growth and enhancing operating margins by over 40%. My role involved managing complex integrations and developing robust financial models that supported strategic acquisitions, ultimately delivering substantial incremental revenue.

I am passionate about fostering cross-functional collaboration and utilizing data-driven insights to guide business strategies. My leadership experience encompasses team development and operational excellence, ensuring that organizations are well-positioned for sustainable growth and success in a competitive landscape.
