What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance roles where I can drive strategic growth, process transformation, and cross-functional collaboration while mentoring teams and supporting M&A and governance.

I am a mission-oriented strategic finance executive with deep experience building cross-functional teams, driving process transformation, and delivering measurable cost savings and forecasting rigor. I have led corporate budgeting across 20+ business units and partnered closely with executive leadership and boards to align finance with long-term strategy.

Across roles from Financial Analyst to Vice President of Corporate Finance at Mozilla, I led initiatives that reduced expenditures by millions, accelerated close timelines, implemented real-time reporting platforms, and supported M&A activity. I founded procurement and improved governance practices, improving hiring and audit readiness while maintaining strong vendor relationships.

I also operate a private-equity-backed CPG distribution business and have built finance functions for startups, leading fundraising and acquisition processes. I prioritize empathetic leadership, consensus-building, and pragmatic analytics to help organizations scale sustainably.
