Independent board director, SEC qualified audit committee financial expert, and senior financial services executive with 20+ years of experience leading investment research and trading teams. Corporate board, not-for-profit board, and advisory committee experience. My robust financial skill set and intrinsic investor perspective allow me to offer insights and oversight that elevate operational and financial performance and bolster shareholder value as an independent board director and audit committee member. I was the highest ranking female investment professional at two leading Los Angeles asset management firms with responsibility for between $10-15 billion of assets under management. My areas of expertise include financial analysis, securities and enterprise valuation, ESG factor analysis, capital structure optimization, capital markets and corporate transactions, financial and operational restructuring, liquidity management, portfolio construction, risk management, product development, and compliance and regulatory oversight. I also have deep experience in working with IT teams to develop technology tools that streamline investment research, portfolio management, and back office business processes. As a portfolio manager and investment research leader, I have focused extensively on developing investment team talent and succession planning. I hold a Wharton MBA in Finance, where I was named a Palmer Scholar, as well as the Directorship Certified designation from the National Association of Corporate Directors. I currently serve on the board of the RENN Fund, a publicly listed value-oriented closed-end fund, and on the board of Wharton Alumni for Boards, a Wharton affinity club focused on increasing the number of Wharton alumni serving on corporate boards.
