As an operational executive with a CPA foundation, I strive for continuous improvements within all aspects of an organization. My most recent experience includes the CFO for a Private Equity portfolio company with an emphasis on contract manufacturing and ancillary services in the technology sector. My leadership style includes partnering with the CEO and related stakeholders to address ever-changing landscapes with an emphasis on long-term goals. I have found success by utilizing a hands-on management style, learning from my colleagues, and keeping a pulse on the related markets to stay ahead of the curve. I effectively communicate direction, commit people to action, and convey complex information in easily understood formats. I believe in contributing to a company culture, leading by example, using an open-door policy, walking the production floor, and connecting with departmental operators at all levels. The dialogue in these interactions becomes invaluable in qualifying objectives, which has helped with past achievements and integrations. My expertise includes deal negotiations, business acquisitions, and new lender financing. I am comfortable in a board room or on the production floor, learning about the intricacies of all positions. In addition to my Finance and Accounting responsibilities, I lead the HR function of the organization. - Certified Public Accountant (CPA)Issued by the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) – CertificateIssued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)Keywords: Private Equity, Cash Flow, Operations, Liquidity, EBITDA, Growth, Leadership, Lender Relationships, Budgeting, Forecasting, Financial Planning and Analysis, Negotiating, KPI, Business Intelligence, ERP, CRM, M&A, Mergers and Acquisitions, CPA, Certified Public Accountant
