Progressed quickly through financial corporate staff positions gaining critical experience in all accounting, audit, treasury, and controllership functions. Deployed in 1992 to lead major industrial manufacturing groups. Restructured staffs when needed, including C-suite positions, and led acquisition and integration efforts involving dozens of companies both domestically and internationally. A key executive recognized for growing this publically held company to $1.2 billion from $66 million in revenues mainly through the acquisition and turnaround of distressed companies and other “bolt-on” opportunities, while remaining ultimately responsible for their integration and profitability.Buying and managing “troubled companies” led to crisis management opportunities such as successfully thwarting a potential SEC reporting delay due to a system failure; recovering a business lost in a catastrophic fire; difficult union negotiations including organizing and mobilizing replacement worker teams; plant relocations and shutdowns, and ultimately becoming a recognized “go-to” leader for solving serious problems for the company.
