• Acquired 3 Security Integration businesses in 9 months• Implemented a fully integrated cloud system across operations• Created cross functionality amongst employeesDfendus Security is an entrepreneurial company that’s privately held, focused on acquiring security integrators that address the mid-market. My role has been focused on post-merger integration. Systems, people and procedures are reviewed, documented and analyzed. Efficiencies and automation are implemented to ensure the organization works smarter, not harder. The financial goal is to proactively guide the business in decisions that impact growth and/or risk to increase overall profitability. By creating meaningful reports through data mining, leaders have the ability to operate in a future state and drive planned results. The engagement goal is to create an environment where employees see big picture contribution and workflow becomes more automated, allowing them to reduce redundant “busy work” and commit to a continuous improvement model. With over 20 years of finance experience and several awards received for process improvements within my prior roles as Finance Manager, I tackle this role from the perspective of each business leader through consistent communication and observation.
