What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can standardize vendor master data, automate P2P processes, enforce SOX controls, and mentor teams in a collaborative, process-driven finance organization.

I am a strategic Accounts Payable and financial operations leader with 20+ years driving disbursements, vendor governance, master data integrity, and audit-ready compliance across global, multi-entity environments. I specialize in standardizing vendor records, automating onboarding workflows, and integrating ERPs (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics/D365, Coupa) to streamline Procure-to-Pay operations.

Throughout my career I have led and mentored AP teams, implemented SMART KPIs, and reduced exceptions while accelerating processing cycles and month-end close. I have driven SOX/internal controls, predictive validations, restricted party screening, and risk reporting, and I consistently collaborate with Procurement and IT to align processes and reduce audit friction.

I pursue continuous improvement through SOP design, UAT testing, AI-enabled automation, and intelligent reporting. I am committed to delivering accurate, compliant payments and scalable vendor master data practices that support clean audits and measurable operational efficiencies.
