“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to truly be satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do…” - Steve JobsI am a finance executive with expertise in the technology, automotive, eCommerce / digital advertising and financial services industries. My passion is to use my comprehensive finance and technology background to help my organizations improve revenues and profits, processes and expand the business. I enjoy helping to develop the overall strategy and then go do the things that need to be done to get them implemented. Simply put, I like to:• FIX THINGS: I am driven to bring calm, control and predictability where there is chaos! Much like the smoke jumpers that put out raging wildfires, I enjoy leaping into the unknown with a few tools and my high performance team and ‘extinguishing the flames’. • BUILD THINGS: I love to set an end vision and then lead a team to create something of great value where there was nothing before. DREAM IT AND BUILD IT! This could include an IT solution, a new initiative or even a business process.• MERGE FINANCE, TECHNOLOGY AND DATA: I focus on leveraging technology and data to ensure that the company's strategy is on target. This includes enhancing the actuals reporting as well as building out robust FP&A solutions. I recognize the great importance of quality data and thus the need for a Finance executive to be tightly collaborated with the IT organization and Business Intelligence. • DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS, TEAMS AND PEOPLE: I am passionate about building relationships across all levels of the organization and breaking down silos to facilitate interlock. I also really enjoy helping others to become great leaders with the skills and passion to self-motivate them to drive the strategy forward. I take great pleasure in seeing my finance teams grow in their own careers and believe in personally investing in their development.
