What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven operations or finance leadership role where I can scale revenue, improve efficiencies, mentor teams, and lead cross-functional projects in media, construction, or related industries.

I am a financial and business operations leader with 5+ years in corporate development, media advertising, insurance, and construction. I combine finance, analytics, and project management to grow revenue, optimize operations, and lead cross-functional teams on multimillion-dollar campaigns and political media buys.

I have a proven record of improving efficiencies (saving $48M), growing construction revenue from $575K to $3.4M, and directing profitable sports advertising campaigns valued at $40M across major networks. I prioritize continuous learning, technology adoption, and clear stakeholder communication to deliver measurable business results.
