Services offered

Strategic finance leader with a track record of driving growth, improving margins, and solving complex problems across dynamic, growth-oriented organizations. I bring deep FP&A expertise, hands-on operational experience, and a sharp focus on aligning financial strategy with execution—while building strong relationships and collaborating across functions to make it happen.

As CFO of a $60M+ company, I led a post-acquisition turnaround—boosting margins 7x, cutting debt in half, and reshaping company culture around data-driven decisions, accountability, and cross-functional trust.

I build scalable planning and forecasting frameworks, lead and develop high-performing, engaged teams, and deliver the insights executives and owners need to make confident, forward-looking decisions. Known for strong emotional intelligence, I create alignment across stakeholders and foster open, productive dialogue that accelerates growth.

I’m energized by solving tough challenges and creating structure out of complexity—whether it’s refining incentives, improving forecasting, or supporting strategic growth.

Let’s connect if you’re scaling a business and need a financial leader who can think like a strategist, act like an operator, and communicate like a trusted advisor.
