Experience

I have over 20 years of finance, operations, and project management experience. I’ve worked for small to mid-size companies, in various stages of their growth. The common theme throughout my career has been a passionate for making an impact — not just producing pretty reports, but making sure they tell you something that you can act on to make something better; not just getting orders out the door, but making sure the customer experience in their delivery is best in its class. Very simply, I love identifying opportunities for improvement and then making them happen. My breadth of experience in a variety of industries in both operational and financial roles at growing companies allows me to have a unique, critical perspective of your business. I unveil truths and help plan for high performing futures.
