I lead global billing and collections operations that accelerate cash flow and strengthen controls.
What I'm looking for
At MicroStrategy, I led global billing and collections for $500M in revenue, improving cash flow, accelerating billing cycles, and maintaining 100% SOX compliance with zero audit findings. I guided 20 global staff and vendors through systems implementations and finance-office consolidation while sustaining service levels.
I've built scalable financial operations across Starband Communications, Winstar Communications, and Qwest/LCI, spanning billing, accounts receivable, collections, revenue operations, forecasting, and financial systems. My work includes reducing manual workload by 50% through SAP automation, recovering 30% of write-offs before external submission, and reducing unbillable minutes from 42M to 6.9M.
