When I began my CFO career in the eighties the role included the traditional realm of finance, revenue cycle, accounting, IT, and materials management. However, my more recent experience in operations analysis and process improvement have revealed to me the gap that modern CFOs must bridge to add requisite value. The current era CFOs must have a profound knowledge of the techniques involved in achieving quantum gains in operational effectiveness, not only in their own areas but in the organization as a whole. I have a deep desire to apply my significant health care financial management experience, and my skills in six sigma process improvement to elevate the health care industry's ability to respond to the incredible challenges ahead.Specialties: Hospital Financial Management Six Sigma Black Belt Certification from Air Academy Associates, Certified Public AccountantHFMA Certified Healthcare Financial Professional
