Global AR leader driving collections, dispute resolution, and process automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven accounts receivable leader with 10+ years managing multi-regional portfolios totaling $120M+, specializing in collections acceleration, dispute resolution, credit control and AI-driven efficiency improvements.
I have led and coached remote teams—up to 26 members—and delivered 60+ hours of AR training while executing portfolio cleanups, automation (Excel Macros, GetPaid) and cross-functional audits that recovered millions and reduced DSO dramatically.
My career highlights include pioneering a $50M portfolio transfer, cutting DSO by 50% within three months, resolving long-standing disputes of $10M in three months, and driving Agile projects that reduced bad debt and unallocated payments by over 95%.
