Most of my senior level finance experience is from venture capital and middle-market private equity-backed companies undergoing meaningful change (high growth, slower-than-planned growth, distressed). As a result, I have gained tremendous experience and knowledge unique to these types of situations. I have built and scaled high-performance teams, managed lender relationships and reporting requirements, addressed significant financial reporting and audit issues, planned and raised capital, led acquisitions, integrations & multiple successful sales processes, recruited and developed portfolio company CFOs, elevated the FP&A function, and led strategic and value creation initiatives across multiple organizations. Along the way I’ve been fortunate to work with great people and companies across a variety of industries including chemicals, construction, consumer products, government services, healthcare, technology & IT services, transportation & logistics.Currently I work for H.I.G. Capital as a finance operating partner (value creation) in the private equity group and spend most of my time supporting and working directly with portfolio company management and investment professionals.Specialties: $0.5B - $1B revenue-sized companies, sell-side (exit) readiness, value creation, portfolio optimization, business transformation, budgeting, forecasting, liquidity management, interim finance management (CFO), 13-week cash flow planning, financial reporting, strategy development, integration planning & execution, due diligence, ERP selection and implementation, capital formation, risk management, recapitalizations, restructurings, carve-outs, purchase accounting
