What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance leadership role where I can lead M&A, drive operational transformations, strengthen controls, and partner with executives to scale growth.

I am a results-oriented finance executive with over 25 years of experience leading finance, accounting, and operational transformations across large enterprises and private companies. I have led M&A valuations and integrations, redesigned core financial processes, implemented ERP systems, strengthened internal controls (SOX, SOC 2 Type 2), and driven substantial revenue and profitability improvements.

I partner closely with sales and operations to align strategy and execution, having delivered measurable outcomes such as 36% revenue growth, 195% net income growth, and major improvements in sales funnel and cash conversion. I bring hands-on leadership, talent development, and a data-driven mindset to build high-performing finance organizations and sustainable operational improvements.
