I pride myself on my abilities to bridge the gap between business units and finance, promote clear visibility into financial performance, and consistently achieve top results with my business partners across supply chain, product, and FP&A.I received advice from a mentor that, "The best finance leaders are business experts first and financial specialists second". I took this to heart and built my background to include knowledge and experience in several business areas along with a top-tier financial skill set. In my current role, I specialize in building a bridge between supply chain and finance. I support Rivian's profitability goals, and have grown and scaled a new team that supports our multi-billion dollar Material Cost Forecast. I have also been deeply involved in cost transformation, supply chain efficiency, and achieving our goals of profitability at scale.I have experience working in or partnering with nearly every department of a business. I followed this path purposefully to understand the entire landscape of a business and how each group interacts to achieve a common goal. I know that my ability to speak business first, then augment with financial expertise, greatly enhances my cross-functional partnerships and collaboration in my role.
