What I'm looking for

I am looking for a position that utilizes my experience as a finance leader specializing in AR, credit, collections, and revenue cycle management. Leading teams, improving processes, reducing DSO, strengthening controls, optimizing cash flow, managing risk, and delivering measurable financial results are key attributes I can hit the ground running.

I am a strategic finance professional with more than 15 years of progressive experience across accounts receivable, credit, collections, and revenue cycle management within manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and logistics. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong reputation for leading teams, improving financial processes, and creating practical solutions that support both business performance and customer relationships.

My professional interests are centered on leadership, team development, process improvement, and operational efficiency. I enjoy building high-performing teams by creating an environment where people feel supported, accountable, and empowered to succeed. I am equally passionate about identifying opportunities to simplify processes, strengthen controls, leverage technology, and improve cash flow and overall efficiency.

I bring a hands-on, people-focused leadership style combined with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Whether developing credit policies, improving collection strategies, implementing ERP processes, or creating SOPs and KPI reporting, I focus on sustainable improvements that deliver measurable results.

I am continuing to expand my expertise through advanced Excel capabilities, emerging AI tools, and my pursuit of the Certified Credit Professional (CCP) designation. My goal is to continue growing as a finance leader while helping organizations build stronger teams, smarter processes, and more efficient financial operations.
