My accounting designation and 25 years of work experience will be a great benefit to your company. Working in various industries (airline, rail, hotel, land development and oil and gas) I have gained experience in knowing what truly adds to shareholder value. I have been exposed to many effective management styles that will benefit any company I work with. During these volatile times when shareholder value is under the microscope we must ensure that any changes are the proper response and that unintentional consequences do not have a negative impact on the company in the coming years. My experience will help in ensuring that changes are measured and appropriate.My working history includes Management Budgets and Reporting, IT Metric Development and Reporting, Auditing and Benchmarking. I can assess complex situations and highlight what results will be needed to enhance corporate and shareholder value. By focusing on what is needed I can assess if we have the processes and if these processes can be improved. This is where competitive advantage is created. I have successfully worked on re-designing and implementing a reporting and budgeting database that provided more flexibility and additional key information to the budget stewards. Through this process budgets were reduced by 15%. My audit recommendation to automate the Locomotive (Power Unit) Fleet database allowed better utilization of power units and thereby saving millions of dollars.
