With over 20 years of work experience in business strategy, finance, and sustainability, I have led and supported multiple projects and initiatives that contributed to the growth of global companies. I have professional experience in various industries including manufacturing, aerospace, and fast moving consumer goods. Most recently, I was the Vice President of Finance and Business Development at Ball Corporation, where I oversaw the launch of the Ball Aluminum Cups business, an innovative product that reduces environmental impact and enhances user experience. Previously, I held various leadership roles at The Coca-Cola Company, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp, and Molson Coors Beverage Company, where I gained valuable experience and skills in team leadership, financial management, supply chain, strategic planning, business development, and cross-functional collaboration. As a student at Harvard University, I earned a Master’s degree in Sustainability and certificates in Environmental Policy & International Development and Corporate Sustainability & Innovation. I also hold an M.B.A. and B.S. in Finance. I am passionate about creating a positive environmental impact through my work and leveraging my skills and expertise in sustainability, finance, strategy, and leadership to support and enable the success of teams, organizations, and stakeholders.
