As a business leader, I leverage my complementary expertise in strategy, supply chain, operations, finance and people development to drive profitable growth in startups and global companies. I launched a media/consumer products startup: grew revenues from zero to $250m. Created strategic plan, inspired entrepreneurial culture, and scaled investments, resources, and capabilities to drive growth - resulting in a successful sale of the company. Achieved #1 market share in category through strategic partnerships, product and market expansion, and employee excellence in customer-facing areas: business development, sales, marketing and operations. As CFO, I partnered with CEO/C-suite team to improve strategy and operating performance, grow revenues, reduce expenses - resulting in improved profits and cash flow. Through various finance and accounting roles, I acquired a deep expertise in accounting/GAAP; strategic plans, annual plans, and forecasting; cash flow management; business analysis, modeling and metrics; M & A; and financial systems. I've consistently and successfully recruited, developed, and promoted diverse talent across key functions: finance, business development, sales, marketing, operations, digital, business analysis, and administration. I've made it a practice to surround myself with talented, hardworking people who care deeply about the quality of their work. Every team I've led has produced superior results. Throughout my leadership journey, I've developed some key principles that serve as my North Star: *Leaders have four growth responsibilities: Grow Self. Grow Colleagues. Grow Company. Grow Community. *A leader's success depends on these drivers: Knowledge (what you know), Skills (what you can do), Values (what you stand for), Attitudes (how you show up), and Relationships (how you connect.) *To grow a company, you have to grow believers. The most important groups of believers are the company's four essential growth partners: employees, customers, collaborators and investors. *Success is only possible, if the team cares deeply about succeeding. *To keep winning - keep moving the finish line. *Leaders must be lifetime learners. *Leadership is a privilege. .
