My passion is leading teams to deliver profitable growth How? By leading discussions and debates that are centered around key business metrics and their financial impact.Some effective approaches:Focus on Sales and Marketing productivity metrics and leading indicators during monthly business reviews – for example, center discussions on industry standard productivity metrics for sales and marketing (sales channel and sales rep) and drive inputs to exceed industry benchmarksDeploy accounting infrastructure to automate relevant reporting – for example, product P&Ls that reflect the activities of the business, structured with management to achieve buy-in and direct capital allocationFor all of the above, track actual results to your plan on a consistent cadence and help the team course correct as issues arise.Share the same metrics and benchmarks with Management and the Board so terminology is reinforced and consistent, regardless of the business topic at hand. The result - an engaged Management Team that feels empowered by Finance to drive success for themselves and the company.Career Highlights:Trusted advisor to the CEO, Board, and Audit Committee.Collaborative partner with Sales and Operations to drive profitable growth.
