iSheriff is a cloud-based cyber security company created in 2014 as a result of the divestiture of the consumer business from Total Defense, Inc.As CFO, I managed all finance, accounting, order operations, tax, and human resource functions for iSheriff. I worked closely with our board of directors, CEO, and executive team to establish and achieve financial and organizational goals.

After the divestiture of the consumer business from Total Defense, I stayed with iSheriff as their VP Finance & Controller until my promotion to CFO. While in my role as VP Finance & Controller, I played a key role in leading the company through its reorganization into a smaller, leaner cloud based cyber security business focused on the B2B market. I also led a cross functional project team tasked with implementing a new CRM system that better integrated with our ERP system, allowed for more robust metrics, and saved the company ~$500k per year in licensing costs.
