What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or finance leadership role where I can scale systems, optimize processes, lead cross-functional teams, and drive measurable profitability and operational efficiency.

I am a strategic, solutions-driven operations and finance executive with a proven record of leading business transformation and optimizing systems in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

I integrate financial strategy, supply chain, and process design to improve performance and scalability, and I am known for bridging vision with execution while building efficient infrastructures.

In my current role I direct financial planning, forecasting, and cash flow management for multi-million-dollar operations, secured $500K+ in strategic funding, implemented automation that cut operating costs by 15%, and accelerated reporting accuracy by 20%.

I lead remote, cross-functional teams, develop KPI dashboards and real-time reporting to improve executive decision-making, and partner with accountants and auditors to ensure compliance, tax efficiency, and financial transparency.
