As a senior financial professional, with extensive international experience and a career path of director-level leadership positions across diverse industries, I have established an exceptional career record of driving down costs, enhancing operational efficiency, accelerating growth, and optimizing profitability for each of my past employers and clients. Drawing from a blend of skills that extends well beyond the traditional boundaries of financial management, I have always been a catalyst for transforming complex business challenges into focused strategies and solutions for strengthening a business’ overall financial position. My expertise in financial operations, strategic planning, business development, enterprise project management, and process improvement is complemented by extensive knowledge and experience with U.S. and international accounting practices/policies (GAAP) and SOX compliance. In addition to my financial and technical skills, I am an expert at building and leading high-performance teams accounting, finance, and technology professionals that consistently achieve or exceed deadline-driven goals for major initiatives. My career accomplishments range from directing the financial turnaround of a multi-billion Israeli tourism company to leading a major SAP implementation, across Europe, for Hewlett-Packard.Specialties: Cross-Functional Team Leadership • Financial Analysis & Modeling • Strategic Analysis & Planning • P&L Management/Cost Control • Budgeting & Forecasting • Consolidated Financial Reporting • GAAP & SOX Compliance • Internal & External Auditing • Turnaround Management • Mergers & Acquisitions • Post Integration • Project Management • Global Supply Chain Management • IT Implementation/ Integration • Project Management • ISO-9000 Process Improvements • Major Transaction Support • Capital Management
