I am a CFO with domain experience in accounting, finance, M&A, HR, Business Operations, Legal, and Recruiting in maturing organizations. I have done several M&A transactions, both on the buy side and sell side. From a strategic finance perspective, all programs I recommend and implement are designed to support and strengthen business organizations, from the executive team, to management, to line staff, to customers. I have been a CFO at privately owned, VC backed, and PE backed companies.From a technical standpoint, my expertise is in building finance and accounting operations that fortify corporate value. Fundamentally, companies select me to build and direct finance and accounting teams and to evaluate and institute stabilizing systems in support of growth. My reputation is for incisive finance strategy and an ability to communicate our plans with all levels.I am currently CFO with Thrive. Thrive provides subscription based IT, cloud, cyber-security, and other next generation managed services to over 2,500 customers.Prior to Thrive, I served in a variety of CFO positions, including CFO of The Aberdeen Group, CFO of Atlantic Data Services, CFO of Permabit and CFO of Bowstreet. Notably, I also served as CFO for Kenan Systems, for which I matured our finance systems, as the company transformed from a service to software sales model. Our growth was rapid, so our finance and accounting systems needed to grow at the same rate. Ultimately, I directed the due diligence process for the sale of the company - a deal valued at $1.5B.
