What I'm looking for

I am seeking a leadership role where I can leverage my risk management expertise to drive financial strategies and foster a high-performance culture.

I am a results-driven executive with over 15 years of leadership experience in global risk management and treasury operations, particularly within the agriculture and commodity trading sector. My career has been marked by a proven ability to reduce financial risk and implement advanced treasury systems that optimize cash management. I am known for spearheading innovative financial strategies that not only increase bottom-line performance but also ensure compliance and foster a collaborative, high-performance work culture.

In my most recent role as Vice President of Risk Management and Treasury at Broadgrain Commodities Inc., I oversaw global treasury functions managing over $1 billion in trade finance and cash operations. I developed a centralized FX hedging platform that yielded over $1 million in annual cost savings and directed foreign exchange, futures, and exotic options trading to mitigate daily exposures. My leadership in ERP integration with Microsoft Great Plains ensured full data flow and daily P&L accuracy across all departments, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

My earlier roles at Broadgrain Commodities included Senior Director and Director of Risk Management, where I implemented new ERP systems and established risk protocols that improved inter-departmental collaboration. My background in scientific research, including a patented discovery in analgesic agents, complements my financial expertise, allowing me to approach challenges with a unique perspective.
