I'm a finance professional with over 10 years of experience with both breadth and depth in industry and function. I've applied a first principles approach in different environments-- ranging from consumer goods to ultra high end luxury and worked in different finance specialties ranging from IT finance to FP&A. I believe that complacency is death. Perpetual learning is what gets me out of bed every single day. "Taking things apart" and understanding how things work is the best approach to anything. Asking the right questions, being solutions based, and articulating ideas are my specialty. I'm known to deep dive in a way that improves efficiency and garners collaboration within teams. It's leadership with the idea that, one can only be a leader if one knows how to serve others. Which begs the question-- why the other stuff? Being one dimensional is boring. Life needs spice-- these are mine. I'm a self taught published photographer with works in pet magazines, Buzzfeed, TechCrunch, The Dogist Puppies, and other publications. I did a stint in Marine Biology learning about coral reefs and ocean ecosystems which included field research with eight hours in the ocean everyday (even with sharks). I appreciate nature, technology, art, and everything in between. In the words of Elon Musk "the spice must flow."
