I am a senior-level finance executive and CPA with diversified professional experience that encompasses a wide variety of industries and companies. I have been the CFO for public and privately held domestic and international companies and have worked in Fortune 500 organizations, entrepreneurial early-stage companies, and a former “Big 4” accounting firm. I have considerable turnaround management experience that includes changing corporate strategic direction, implementing new business models, improving capital and operating efficiencies, and developing financial and operational performance metrics. My experience demonstrates a proven track record of instituting continual process improvements and building best-in-class finance teams. Additionally, I have been highly effective in coupling strategic thinking with the ability to understand the details and leverage points that drive a company’s performance. My core competencies encompass all aspects of financial management including treasury functions, internal and external financial reporting, investor relations, SOX control environments, mergers and acquisitions, raising debt and equity (IPO) capital, strategic planning and forecasting, expense and cash flow management, and both international accounting (IFRS) and US GAAP.Specialties: Turnaround management | Strategic planning and forecasting | Cash flow and expense management | Improving capital and operating efficiencies | Developing financial and operational performance metrics | Raising debt and equity capital | Initial Public Offering (IPO) | Lender and investor relations | Financial and SEC compliance reporting | SOX control environments | Mergers and acquisitionsInternational accounting (IFRS) and US GAAP
