COO and Interim CFO at Mainspring, overseeing fintech finances and partnering on an AI-driven product rebuild.

At Mainspring, I oversee finance, operations, and product strategy across payments, payroll, HR, and time and attendance. I took on the interim CFO role and partner with the development team on an agentic, AI-driven product rebuild.

At Software Solutions Unlimited (SSI), I co-founded the company and served as President and Treasurer. I helped grow it from a startup into a Top 5 freight audit and payment company with $6.3M in annual revenue and 41 employees, and co-designed its proprietary internet platform for freight management automation.

After SSI's 2020 sale, I continued as a board member, advising on freight audit, payment, and supply chain operations and providing oversight through the earn-out's completion in 2024. I also assisted with the acquisition and product integration of a time and attendance software company at Mainspring.
