I lead strategic finance, P&L performance, and transformation for global operating portfolios.
What I'm looking for
I'm the Finance Director at Gilbarco Veeder-Root / Vontier, partnering with the General Manager on a $350M+ global Environmental Solutions portfolio. I lead full P&L and balance-sheet management, planning, profitability, working capital, investment decisions, and transformation.
I build product-, region-, and customer-level financial views that connect commercial and operating drivers to decisions on pricing, margin, growth, and resource allocation. My work on Project Zeta identified approximately $3.1M in annual cost reduction with roughly a one-year payback.
Previously at BW Energy, I owned the enterprise Corporate Model and liquidity framework, supporting the CFO, CEO, Strategy team, and Board on capital allocation, financing, development projects, and strategic alternatives. I also led the MARS finance and analytics transformation using SAP/IFS data, SQL, Azure Data Factory, Power Platform, and Power BI, delivering productivity benefits equivalent to approximately six full-time employees.
Across ExxonMobil, Pilkington Automotive, Longo Brothers, Syncrude, and BlackBerry, I've led FP&A, operational finance, systems improvement, and team development. I combine detailed modeling with practical business partnership, translating complex analysis into clear actions for senior leaders.
