I am a logical and highly analytical finance leader with 13 years of progressive experience directing financial operations within turnaround, M&A, and rapid growth situations. My approach to holding teams accountable for unit, sales, and EBITDA growth comes from years of experience solving resource allocation and budgeting problems at private equity backed companies like Focus Brands and D4C Dental Brands. As a resourceful problem solver, I possess an innate ability to identify relevant details and communicate priorities. I switch from strategic to tactical views as I establish enterprise-level expectations with executives, or develop bottoms-up budgets with business unit operators. I thrive as an active learner and articulate communicator with success building cross-functional relationships, resolving leadership conflicts, and training non-finance business partners on P&Ls and other performance metrics. I love diverse, fast-paced environments.Career Highlights:* Establishing the finance function at Smalls Sliders and developing a culture of financial discipline to support growth into a billion dollar brand.* Led finance team supporting 4 brands and 3300 restaurants for Focus Brands during organizational transition to category structure and shared services support model.* Built Financial Planning & Analysis operation for D4C from inception in less than 12 months.
