I am a business strategy professional with a proven background in operations, finance, and strategy. As such, I am able to clearly identify opportunities and pathways to financial returns as well a utilize a charismatic, hands on style to motivate those around me to achieve.I have an exceptional ability to utilize operational and financial metrics to identify process improvement initiatives that create capacity and reduce expenses driving bottom-line cash flow. I have the ability to lead a diverse, remote workforce to enhance operational performance and culture in a multi-state area. That stems from a keen ability to hire, provide enhanced training, and retain highly productive individuals. Strategically, I have a broad financial background specializing in capital strategies, operational planning, and financial planning for mergers and acquisitions.14 years of experience across Finance taught me many lessons, but none more valuable than the notion that success is predicated on a balance between the quality of the work you complete and the acceptance you can create from your customers. Combining quality with a focus on credibility and acceptance within the business engenders a feeling of trust that allows you personally to achieve at a higher level. Understanding and adapting to challenging internal and external customers has become a core competency over my career. I place a high priority on growth, both personally and professionally, and look forward to continuing that growth.My most recent Insights Profile tells me that my style is that of a "Reforming Director". As a leader, that means I am an articulate self-starter with strong values and ideals. Though analytical and systematic, I embrace change and, once a path has been chosen, I pursue it with confidence. I am competitive, outgoing, and charismatic, but I still value my quiet time to reflect.
