I am passionate about providing clarity and simplicity to difficult financial questions for my organization. My guiding principles are persistence in curiosity, application of intuitive models, open mindedness to innovation, free sharing of ideas and knowledge between colleagues, and awareness to eliminate extraneous information. With this approach, smart and informed decisions can be made. I also find that a thought process such as this is contagious, and inspires others. The team that shares ideas and insights will have a more positive outcome. A strong finance department is one that works together, consolidates, automates repetitiveness, and provides easy to understand answers to guide the business. A strong finance department eliminates the risk of making the wrong decision due to bad or misleading information.
