What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a lean, autonomous, remote-first team where I can own revenue data infrastructure end-to-end—building trustworthy forecasting/reporting with SQL/Python, governance, and durable self-service dashboards.

I’m a revenue operations professional who builds the data infrastructure behind forecasting and reporting—starting from scratch rather than only reporting numbers. I design SQL data models, write Python-driven ETL pipelines, and stand up data-governance frameworks so revenue metrics are trustworthy across teams.

In my roles, I’ve consistently translated between technical and go-to-market stakeholders to resolve conflicting data definitions and build a single source of truth for pipeline, forecasting, and territory reporting. At CentsIQ, I built a “Quote-to-Cash” reporting function end-to-end by merging QuickBooks and CRM data with custom Python/n8n ETL, and I standardized metric definitions to enable apples-to-apples KPI benchmarking across clients.

Previously, as Vice President, Corporate Finance Reporting & Analytics at Houlihan Lokey, I built governance from the ground up, cutting data errors by 60% and standardizing 50+ critical financial metrics. I led initiatives replacing static Excel reporting with durable Tableau self-service suites, and I ran SQL/Python training sessions that improved forecast accuracy by 20%—all while operating comfortably end-to-end in lean, autonomous, remote-first environments.
