Acting as a strategic business partner to deliver financial management and operations support is what I do best. Whether challenged to establish new finance operations, deliver first-time business management tools, and/or increase the predictability, visibility, and reporting of metrics and performance, I have delivered strong operating and financial results. Highlights of my career include:—Led the successful introduction of business partner-level finance leadership to a $2.5B business at Juniper Networks, driving year-on-year improvements in financial performance and setting the standard for finance business partner support globally.—Directed and oversaw finance and cross-functional teams in the review, approval, and reporting of complex multimillion-dollar sales deals at Juniper Networks, ensuring global alignment and buy-in on revenue recognition, profitability margins, future commitments, and contract terms and conditions.—Started the financial and business operations for a privately-held maker of edge routers that contributed to its acquisition by Alcatel-Lucent.—Provided financial guidance and thought leadership through business transformations, company acquisitions, and sales deal structures, ensuring proper due diligence, and compliance with internal and external reporting standards.Throughout my 20+ years in high-tech, start-up, and Fortune 500 / 1000 companies, I have established credibility as a dependable and team-oriented business partner, offering valuable insight in strategic business and industry trends—often sought out as a sounding board by senior management. This has led to my advancement into a variety of financial leadership roles, and honed my expertise in all the functions and disciplines of finance management and operations. My success has been built around my ability to establish order, and create a vision that empowers teams to excel in even the most complex and challenging business conditions.
