About

With 20 years of people focused thought leadership in finance and decision modeling, I've led strategic direction, operational reporting/improvements, and financial success in some of the world's largest aerospace and retail companies. These wins have included major supply chain negotiations, category strategies, operations reporting/performance improvements, program launches/expansions, process automation and control environment overhauls. The results, $Billions in created value for customers, a quarter million cross-functional hours saved through automation, and record setting first time pass rates in compliance (earning CFO recognition/replication). Valuing people, building trust through engagement, and celebrating learning (even those unexpected lessons) don’t just enable success, they make the journey fun and meaningful on a personal level. As a leader (formal and informal), I found that I learn something from everyone, listening is the key to unlocking the power of diversity, and when you focus on vision, engagement, and trust, results will follow. #FinancialModeling #ContractNegotiation #ProgramManagement #RiskManagement #CategoryManagement #Estimating #Statistics #FinanceOperations #CategoryLeader #PerformanceReporting #BusinessIntelligence #LifecycleStrategy #SupplyChainManagement #Compliance #ProcessAutomation #AssuranceAudit #Analytics #Economics #RetailStrategy #GameTheory #EmotionalIntelligence #CreativeProblemSolving You are awesome.
