Message

At Schneider Electric, I partner with Global Supply Chain leadership on planning and financial decisions across a $100M+ cost portfolio. I standardized North America productivity governance, creating a framework to track and validate more than $140M in initiatives.

At August Bio and Kea AI, I reported to CFOs and owned core planning and financial operations. I automated reporting at August Bio, cutting monitoring time by 50%, and at Kea AI improved billing and follow-up processes that reduced accounts receivable by 45% in 60 days.

At Asurion, I partnered with Product, Technical, and Supply Chain teams on an early-stage product line’s profitability and commercialization. A vendor-management strategy I developed delivered $1.4M in realized savings in 2023, while a repair-parts framework reduced costs by 10% and generated $1.2M in cost avoidance.

At Amazon, I owned finance for the Locker+ business as it scaled from approximately 20+ campus locations to 300+ locations. I developed the field labor strategy that delivered $2.3M in annual savings, and built Power BI reporting connecting operating KPIs to financial outcomes.
