A transformational, strategic, leader with a record of defining and delivering exceptional results during periods requiring change, business maturity and bottom line improvements. Globally focused with a business philosophy defined as “Every organization, old, new, inventive or encumbered has opportunity to be more productive, more efficient and more profitable or sustainable.” 

I am a high energy executive with a bachelors and masters in financial business management from Harvard University with a corresponding citation in strategic management that has allowed me to partner with senior leadership to develop and successfully implement strategic plans, drive revenue and profitability growth. I possess significant abilities to develop organizations to the next level of maturity and critical qualities that executive managers seek in a trusted advisor: strategic change management planning, cross-functional substance, know-how in forming executable recommendations, attracting appropriate talent and an enterprise-wide perspective that effectively engages all stakeholders. I present dynamic contributions including financial and organizational development, control, and enhanced capital structure. I understand the value of collaborating with IT resources to drive strategic changes to the business model and demonstrated appreciation for delivering excellence to discerning customers to ensure loyalty and a pattern of repeat business.

Focusing on compliance and control, leveraging strong technology applications and evaluation of business plan risks and opportunities has resulted in contributions of over 20.3M in expense savings, 26.7M in liability mitigation and 19.7M in revenue and recovery opportunities.

I have highly developed project and team management skills with a track record of consistently delivering expanded EBITDA results by partnering with and overseeing top division executive’s pursuit of established goals.  My strengths include Global Leadership & Team Building, International Partnerships, Strategy, Controllership & decision support, Financial Planning/Analysis, Organizational Assessment, Operational Optimization, people development & coaching, negotiation, marketing, communication, asset and data management and policy development. 

Utilizing certification in LEAN Six Sigma protocols and an Asset Management Certification from Rutgers, Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, I have established comprehensive records information management programs, fleet architecture, corporate card, cash flow management, energy strategies, global data governance, asset data management program and consistent financial platforms globally. I have utilized certification in U.S Importing Documentation and Procedures to establish compliance in global importing.

Additional areas of successful contributions are: state and federal grant management, management of external audit engagements including big 4 facilitation, merger and acquisition valuation and integration and the creation of corrective action plans for internal control and SOX compliance.
