Finance executive with extensive experience in the luxury goods business. I have worked for a top Fortune 500 company and have exposure to both the domestic and international side of this fascinating business. Thorough understanding of “branding” and the importance of a proper distribution strategy to protect trademark. Trained by one of the best in the industry!Although my background is primarily finance and accounting, I feel what sets me apart from others is my in-depth knowledge of business operations and the overall business cycle. I was fortunate that my career path led me through several small but rapidly developing divisions that required me to be involved in almost every facet of these businesses. I have the ability to see the “big picture” but not afraid of the hard work and attention to detail required to make these start-up operations successful. These divisions now deliver highly profitable sales in excess of $200MM.My diverse business background and passion to work with people led me to the next chapter of my career – corporate acquisitions. I was responsible for the successful integration of several strategic acquisitions. Annual sales for these businesses ranged from $2.5MM to $80MM so the level of sophistication and staffing varied greatly between companies. Working directly with founders and their management teams, developed a detailed action plan by functional area which was instrumental in the smooth integration of each company.Now how can I help you grow your business???
