I led multiple transformation initiatives and oversaw post-acquisition integrations, creating significant shareholder value.During my time at Ketchum, a global public relations & communications consultancy owned by Omnicom, I partnered with the executive team to revamp financial operations, aligning them with the company’s strategic pivot. Key initiatives included implementing project management tools, building a regional resource management practice, creating an FP&A team, and retooling financial reporting. Concurrently, I oversaw the financial success of Ketchum’s specialty businesses (influencer marketing, research and analytics, management consulting, crisis communications, digital), improving utilization metrics and driving consistent double-digit year-over-year growth.At DDB New York, I led the merger of three underperforming business units and initiated a successful turnaround that returned the division to profitable growth. A significant aspect of this success was introducing and scaling a project management practice that became a blueprint for other DDB subsidiaries.Currently, as CFO & COO of Red Antler Group, a family of leading brand-building businesses, I’ve built a scalable operational infrastructure and led both organic and inorganic growth strategies. I have negotiated and integrated acquisitions, optimized financial performance and tech stack, positioning the company for long-term profitability.My expertise spans M&A integration, business transformation, and value creation in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
