What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my extensive financial expertise while fostering team development and driving strategic growth.

I am an innovative and entrepreneurial financial executive leader and consultant with over 30 years of experience in business development and financial operations, particularly within the wine industry. My expertise lies in designing and directing strategies that increase market share and drive profitability for both start-ups and established companies. I specialize in strategic planning, capital development, financial analysis, and operations management, and I am known for building results-producing teams that maximize employee growth and retention.

As the founder of SABRINAMK, LLC, I have successfully advised numerous small and mid-sized exporters across Southeast Asia, helping them secure over $110 million in capital. My role as interim CFO of a mid-tier US winery allowed me to direct financial and operational processes, manage banking relationships, and oversee a team of 90 financial and operations personnel. My previous experience as CEO of Assurance Global Financial Services and Solutions, LLC, where I scaled the company to a middle market cap within four years, showcases my ability to lead cross-functional teams and implement strategic plans that yield significant growth.
