## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to help growth-stage, PE-backed, or public companies build scalable finance infrastructure, improve performance visibility and cash flow, lead capital events, and create measurable enterprise value.
```

## About

```text
I've led finance, transformation, and value creation across CloudHesive, Ventec Life Systems, DOMIO, TransUnion, Bio-Rad, Arrow Electronics, Stryker, and DIRECTV. My work spans public companies, PE-backed businesses, and growth-stage organizations across cloud services, technology-enabled services, medtech, diagnostics, media, and multinational operations.

At CloudHesive, I helped deliver 49% net revenue CAGR and a 57% ending gross margin, secured $24M in equity capital and a $16M debt facility, and led the Dextr and Eplexity acquisitions. I also built five-year SaaS planning and BI capabilities that reduced forecast variance to under 5% and extended revenue visibility from six to 18 months.

I've delivered major turnarounds and growth outcomes, including more than $30M in budget-year savings at Ventec, 28% revenue CAGR and 260% EBITDA CAGR at TransUnion's Specialized Risk Group, and global P&L leadership for Bio-Rad's $1.4B international sales organization. I partner closely with CEOs, boards, investors, and operating teams to improve cash flow, strengthen finance infrastructure, and turn strategy into measurable performance.
