As a strategic business partner and member of the senior leadership team, I align financial disciplines, big picture business intelligence, and risk management to improve business performance, enhance operations, build financial strength, and resolve complex business challenges. I deliver distinctly broad and deep financial acumen derived from managing segment CFOs, FP&A and analytics, treasury and capital markets, accounting, and SEC reporting across financial services and automotive sectors as well as within technology services. Throughout my career, I have• Led several initiatives to drive significant business and profit growth, capital and funding optimization, business line and product enhancements, and cost and organizational restructuring. • Transformed and led the Finance function as an integral and valued partner to achieving business objectives. • Demonstrated effectiveness in navigating varying market, business, and regulatory nuances, while establishing international companies and working within a global finance organization. • Effectively managed communication and relationship development with key regulators, auditors, rating agencies, investors, investment and commercial banks, management consultants, and suppliers. I aim to be an engaging and authentic leader and have been recognized throughout my career for the ability to cultivate valuable relationships, drive alignment among “top of the house” leaders, inform perceptions of external stakeholders, and rally teams around a common mission. I value diverse perspectives and promote and foster open communication. I believe in developing and leveraging strong, diverse talent as a catalyst for sustainable business progress. With this mindset, I am dedicated to supporting, initiating, and leading a variety of DEI initiatives and programs, including creating the TFS Women’s Leadership Roundtable, serving as a Corporate Advisory Board Member for the Association of Latino Professionals for America, and participating in Toyota North America’s Executive Diversity and Inclusion Council. I enjoy networking with other professionals and am open to connecting here on LinkedIn.
