Over my extensive career, I have developed financial strategy and identified key opportunities that have consistently propelled my organizations toward long-term success. From multinational, publicly-traded enterprises to small, growing startups, I leverage a unique background in corporate finance, public accounting, and international markets to break down complex business issues and implement impactful solutions that reduce costs and generate revenue. In my latest VP role at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, I played a key role driving global initiatives, financial reporting, and decision making for a $2B revenue business. My background also includes: ☑ Public accounting experience managing federal, state, and local tax compliance for individual, corporate, and nonprofit clients. ☑ Executive thought leadership supporting C-Suite decision making with clear communication and cost-saving strategy development. ☑ Financial reporting enhancements, recently saving Hexagon millions by implementing Excel, Hyperion, and OneStream dashboards. ☑ M&A management and process optimization, including building IEH’s finance and accounting function from scratch, recruiting management and developing controls to ensure compliance across 300 locations. ☑ Direct, action-oriented problem solving, whether I’m identifying issues with reporting, inventory, or strategy, I am unafraid to address relevant stakeholders and get to work applying effective solutions.
