    Newark, New Jersey, United States
    CORPORATE PROFILE: A $54B Insurance, Investments, & Retirement company with 41K employees. RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: I reported to the SVP/Controller with a ~$3M OPEX and 15 employees with two direct. I was responsible for leading a multi-year initiative to re-envision end-to-end forecasting, including strategy formation, organizational goal alignment, stakeholder collaboration, and C-Suite communications. Additionally, I established/empowered cross-functional Agile teams to identify/prioritize transformation opportunities that promote streamlined, agile, and customer-centric experiences. Finally, I monitored progress to identify/mitigate risks, implemented change management strategies to secure buy-in, and leveraged emerging technologies/industry trends to foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLEINTERDEPARTMENTAL COLLABORATION / FORECASTING / VENDOR SELECTION / INSIGHTS• Inefficient forecasting and disparate modeling systems frustrated decision-makers and forecast providers. I was charged by the EVP/CFO to deliver meaningful remediations after previous efforts had failed. To accomplish this, I assembled the C-suite/stakeholders to assess needs/processes, interviewed peer companies, launched an Agile team to address priorities, and constructed an MVP aligned with the vendor. This tool is currently being implemented, is expected to accelerate speed-to-insight via dynamic modeling, and is slated to be scaled more broadly across the enterprise.

Oversee all global financial operations, including financial planning, reporting, investor relations, treasury, tax, corporate development, actuarial, and all finance transformation activities. RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: I reported to the EVP/CFO with a ~$2M OPEX and two employees with one direct.

I also partnered with strategic service/sourcing providers to assess readiness and expand operations.ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLEPROFIT OPTIMIZATION / COST REDUCTION / REPORTING & ANALYTICS / STRATEGIC PLANNING• Finance sought to reduce costs through transformations but lacked strong controls/leadership.

Within 30 days, I consolidated/analyzed targets, collaborated with the CFO Executive Team to validate/challenge opportunities, determined external sourcing provider commitment, and launched a real-time reporting dashboard under accelerated timelines. This improved transformation confidence, enhanced controls, innovated reporting, and identified a multimillion-dollar target shortfall, causing CFO goal reprioritization.

Furthermore, I developed a high-performance team by continuously assessing skill sets and championing an inclusive culture.ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLEEMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT / RESTRUCTURING / TEAM COACHING / HIPO TALENT IDENTIFICATION• I discovered demands outpaced Finance capacity and skill sets, hindering engagement and insights. I then sought to restore CEO confidence by restructuring the organization, first interviewing stakeholders to understand needs/identify service gaps. I navigated cost constraints to convert rotational positions to FTEs, added new roles with realigned responsibilities, and held regular touchpoints. These actions expanded the organization by 40%, improved employee engagement scores by 78% in one year (compared to 2% increase company-wide), increased business unit leader faith, and enabled VP-level promotions for HiPo talent.

    ACHIEVMENTS CONTINUEDACQUISITION INTEGRATION / BALANCE SHEET• Following the acquisition of the UK-based Wadhwani Asset Management, I was chosen by the CEO to integrate the Finance team and translate structures.

This fully integrated Wadhwani exposed PGIM to complementary industry-leading products with expanded global reach, improved performance visibility, and influenced pricing/structures for future M&As.

I was tasked by the SVP/CFO to create evaluations for current/future health. To achieve this, I promoted shared team ownership aligned on crucial dimensions, developed a grading scale, and interviewed each Business CFO to gather viewpoints. Within 90 days, these actions culminated in a “best-in-class” 25-page presentation with actionable recommendations to the EVP/COO that validated current operations. This became a duplicated Best Practice, and my role was expanded to oversee FP&A for US and International Businesses.DUE DILIGENCE / MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS• The company had an opportunity to acquire a FinTech startup, but due diligence processes first needed to adapt to an untested market. I was entrusted by the SVP/CFO to validate/challenge/test assessments for target capabilities, test assumptions, and collaborate cross-functionally to develop a business finance case under consolidated timelines.

Leading this, I established one-on-ones with direct reports/dotted lines, assessed strengths to update operating structures, engaged the team on challenging development opportunities with high business impact, and raised executive exposure for all team members.
