The person behind the work
An operator first.
A CFO where it counts.
I’ve built companies, managed capital and led teams through decisions where the answers weren’t obvious. That experience shapes how I work: establish financial truth, understand the operating reality and turn both into useful action.
I care about the people carrying the responsibility, not just the problem on the spreadsheet. Clear thinking, direct communication and follow-through matter.
Complex situations with high stakes and no clear playbook are where I do my best work.
