Bio
I have over 20 years’ experience in financial reporting/analysis, process improvement, and project management. I have worked in a diverse group of industries including business consulting, non-profit, telecommunications, banking, utilities, government and biotechnology.
My career has been split between the public and private sectors, from providing business advisory services with Arthur Andersen and KPMG, to Finance Director and Controller roles in a number of organizations. My roles have allowed me to gain experience in areas beyond financial accounting, including HR, payroll, systems implementations, risk mitigation, and strategic planning. Helping organizations take their business to the next level by developing processes and leveraging technology is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
