## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a finance leadership role that brings together my private equity, corporate finance, and operating experience with consumer, retail, and e-commerce businesses. Sunday’s focus on cash management, EBITDA improvement, and growth across subscription, e-commerce, and retail channels is a strong fit.
```

## About

```text
At Black Wolf Group, I led Sabino, a digital advertising and e-commerce SaaS business, as President with full P&L accountability. We grew revenue from $250K to $2.5M and improved EBITDA from negative to $500K.

I also repositioned Sabino from a services-led digital marketing and analytics business into an AI-powered product discovery platform for e-commerce retailers. I directed its product roadmap, pricing, and go-to-market strategy across search, recommendations, and merchandising.

Earlier, at Blackstreet Capital Management, I helped acquire and turn around consumer and retail businesses including Territory Ahead and Bijoux Terner. Across my finance and operating work, I’ve focused on cash management, FP&A, transactions, and translating financial analysis into operating decisions; I’m now looking to bring that experience to Sunday’s VP of Finance role.
