As a financial executive, I leverage my CPA credentials and 25+ years of leadership in financial, operational, and strategic roles to help companies achieve growth objectives, raise capital, and optimize financial performance. I build and manage strong finance teams that collaborate across functions and drive execution with a focus on unit economics, cash management and financial results.In addition to several full - time CFO roles, I have operated as a fractional and interim CFO and advisor, specializing in SaaS and marketplace businesses. I have executed a dual track M&A and IPO readiness process, resulting in a strategic acquisition of the company by a public company for over $750MM. I have raised venture, debt, and other private investment capital in multiple funding rounds, and increased gross margins and EBITDA margins significantly. My passion is to use data, build and analyze models, and institute scalable processes with sensible internal controls. I have a strong background in SaaS, tech, marketplace models and services and have started and operated firm-wide practices at Big 4/global firms. I have a strong network in the financial community of bankers, investors, and other advisors and influencers. I love making a difference every day and enjoy family, friends, dogs, Clemson football, exercise classes, and golf.
