I see the red doors of enterprises with $ billions in revenue, and thousands of employees, across over 100 countries. And in front of that red door, I see the unprofitability, projects gone off the rails resulting in missed opportunities, and the most valuable asset, people, lost without a beat. I paint it black. Black to profitabilityBlack to streamlined workflowsBlack to optimized leaders, teams, and contributors engaged and fulfilled. Here are a few examples of the red to black turnarounds I’m most proud ofHighlighted Achievements:★ Returned red bottom lines to black in one year, adding $ millions in profits.★.Led multiple, complex, global projects simultaneously. All were completed on time and within budget.★ Led multiple end-to-end initiatives, including due diligence, delivering multiple mergers/integrations/divestitures.★ Developed analytics, go-to-market research, and financial planning to support initiatives that increased revenues, captured market share and expanded vertical markets.★Led high-performing teams of over 400 employees and hundreds of partners across multiple functions, geographies, and cultures.★Started global women’s leadership initiative and co-founded a best-in-class mentoring program.As a trusted executive and advisor on financial forecasting, financial modeling, global M&A initiatives, and business transformation -- across financial services and education, I identify and leverage opportunities to steer organizations towards year-over-year growth using the instruments of data analytics to drive continuous process improvements, efficiency enhancements, and cost optimization. When I am not painting, you’ll find me listening to the Rolling Stones, reading, or connecting with or without tea with other Chief women.

We launched with a Senior Leadership Conference in January 2004 for approximately 150 women in New York. Since that time, we have expanded globally and were up to 26 regional networks on five continents and over 5,000 members (men and women) prior to the sale of McGraw-Hill Education.Six months after the conference, I co-founded the first company wide Mentoring Program.

Senior Vice President, Finance Excellence And QualityS&P Global 2011 - 2013New York, Ny, UsInitially, the focus of this position was to get a derailed Oracle EBS implementation back on track. Within 3 months, we moved the go-live date up by 6 months. The project went live on July 1, 2012 (as we were outsourcing certain finance and accounting functions) on time, on budget with minimal business disruption. While this was initially a single project, we have subsequently completed "Logical Separation" which allowed the recently divested McGraw-Hill Education to allow separate reporting and security. We are now preparing for "Physical Separation" which will create two separate Oracle instances.During the summer of 2011, I led the GPS (Growth Productivity and Speed) project which analyzed and benchmarked various enterprises operations. With the announcement of the separation of McGraw-Hill Education in September 2011, I led the "Enterprise Buiness Service" team for our GVP (Growth and Value Plan). This lead to the formation of the Global Business Services group and plans for outsourcing.
