What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic finance, FP&A, and operational performance in a complex business where I can partner with executives to improve margins, liquidity, reporting, and scalable growth.

I've led finance and strategic planning for The Walt Disney Company, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Discovery, Wella Company, and high-growth businesses across entertainment, consumer products, energy, and services.

At Disney, I led and developed a team of eight supporting a $1.8B revenue business, overseeing FP&A, multi-entity consolidation, revenue recognition, cash forecasting, audit support, and ERP initiatives. At Paramount, I oversaw $2B in global content sales finance, increased annual collections from $1.2B to $1.8B, and reduced 90+ day past-due balances by $28M within three months.

Most recently, I've driven more than 100% year-over-year revenue growth at VIPER Experience through pricing, retainer programs, KPI dashboards, and driver-based event P&L models. I bring board-level reporting, financial modeling, cash flow management, controllership coordination, and practical cross-functional partnership to decisions that improve margins, liquidity, and growth.
