With 30 years of experience as a Bank Director, including chairing audit and compliance committees, I have demonstrated strong leadership in navigating the financial industry’s regulatory landscape. My role has encompassed financial analysis and corporate governance, ensuring robust oversight and strategic decision-making. My 25+ years of business ownership have further honed my leadership and entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, I bring a decade of expertise in agricultural business management and commodity hedging, offering a unique perspective on risk management and market strategies. My four years in small business consulting, training, and development have equipped me with the tools to help businesses thrive. Most recently, I led a two-year project to integrate and implement, in alignment with the bank’s core processor, a new cloud-based loan application system that encompasses application, credit analysis, document management, underwriting, loan pricing, risk rating, and closing. This showcases my ability to manage complex projects and drive technological innovation. I am also passionate about mentoring others, helping them develop their skills and achieve their professional goals. My extensive leadership experience and proven track record make me a valuable asset in any financial or business development role. Let’s connect to explore opportunities for collaboration and growth.
