What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise FP&A, modernization, budgeting, forecasting, and financial systems improvements while partnering with executive and operational leaders on strategic resource allocation and decision support.

I've led enterprise budgeting, forecasting, and multi-year planning for Halifax Regional Centre for Education's $900M+ operating and capital portfolio supporting 137 schools, 60,000 students, and 12,000 staff. I turn financial trends, risks, and performance drivers into executive-ready recommendations.

I modernize FP&A through SAP S/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, Power Query, Power BI, automation, and financial modelling. Across public-sector education, private equity, hedge funds, banking, and advisory work, I've strengthened reporting, controls, governance, and resource allocation while leading finance teams.
