Edward A

I’m not your stereotypical finance executive. Yes, building and managing strong financial systems for start-ups is my forte. But my leadership extends to business strategy, partnership development, and growth efforts.

As a senior leader with diverse experience in change management, team development, and M&A planning and execution, I drive measurable value while improving operational efficiency and controlling costs. Central to my approach is a core commitment to finding solutions to business problems. Challenges will always arise, but it is my job as a leader to guide teams and stakeholders through to a resolution. 

Strengths and outcomes include:
➨ Solid financial systems and practices for FinTech, Finance, and E-commerce start-ups. 
➨ KPIs steeped in the true measures of organizational performance.
➨ 3 successful company exits, each at a premium EBITDA multiple.
➨ Meaningful involvement in an $18M IPO.
➨ Strong investor relations and venture capital expertise.
➨ Deft leadership that contributed to 450% revenue growth in 3 years.
➨ Bankrupt company transformation to positive cash flow in 4 months.

I am in my element when I lead teams to achieve goals that seem out of reach. From astute fiscal management to product development, organization design, and team engagement, I unify these crucial components into a seamless whole to drive year-over-year growth in entrepreneurial, forward-thinking business environments.
