For the majority of my career I have focused on relatively long-term consulting- and project-based opportunities in various industries including construction services, non-professional services, manufacturing and distribution. In all engagements, the change motivation has been to improve the disciplines of management, finance/accounting and operations with the ultimate goal of maximizing shareholder value. The typical engagement involves replacing, or creating, the CFO role and developing best practices for executive management, board and external partner reporting requirements.My diverse experience has afforded me a natural fit into the transaction, private equity and distressed company environments. I am typically involved in management roles guiding my clients to their target exit by providing strategy and execution of revenue enhancement, margin improvement and net result increases to maximize company value for that exit.
