I am an accomplished finance leader who possesses a unique combination of hard and soft skills that I deploy to drive growth, profitability, and process improvement. I am adept at strategic thinking, innovation, and collaboration and enjoy solving challenges with an objective data driven approach. My experience spans public accounting in Big 4 to large and small public companies in the Service, Distribution, Retail and Manufacturing industries.KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REPORTING THAT PROPELS GROWTH♦ As the Director, Financial Planning & Analysis at Vireo Health, Inc. I created key performance indicator reporting that included price/volume/mix metrics by product and by state that drove a 64% increase in revenue year-over-year.FINANCIAL MODELING THAT DRIVES PROFITABILITY♦ Previously, as the Associate Director of Business Analysis at UnitedHealth Group I designed financial models and provided recommendations to senior leadership that drove hundreds of millions in incremental gross margin and operating cost savings.MONTH END CLOSE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS IMPROVEMENT♦ Formerly, as the Capital Controller at OptumCare I worked with newly acquired entity’s accounting functions to improve the accuracy of general ledger detail pre-PeopleSoft integration by building a supplementary actuals report. This closed the actuals reporting gap from WD9 to WD5 (a 44% efficiency gain during the close process in submitting actuals).PLANNING AND FORECASTING WITH PRECISION♦ I am known for accurately predicting ongoing operations, supporting new business opportunities, and identifying risks through designing highly accurate plans and forecasts that align with an organization’s vision. I have consistently managed plans and forecasts within +/- 2% of target.TEAM DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT♦ As a leader, I cultivate a collaborative environment, so teams work with purpose. I focus on team member strengths, provide appropriate challenges, and develop top performers. I excel at working cross-functionally with strategic business teams to frame new ideas for senior leadership through critical thinking, clear communication, and collaboration.FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS EXPERTISEStrategic and long-range planning, Financial planning and forecasting, Financial modeling and analysis, Decision support, Capital investment analysis, Financial reporting, Month end accounting, Accounting, Business case development, Process improvement, Project management, Team development, Cross-functional team leadership, Collaboration, Consensus building, Communication, Critical thinking
