Planning/ Turnarounds

My professional career reflects 25 years of Finance, Strategic Analysis,

Operations, Mergers and Acquisitions, Accounting and Cost Reduction in a

variety of product and service related environments, conducting business in

domestic and international markets. Leadership has been critical to start

up, turn around, and enhancement of existing operations.

Responsibilities touched every operating department within the

organization, including, but not limited to: long range planning,

forecasting/reporting/monitoring, developing cost standards and procedures,

contract negotiations, monthly/quarterly/annual reports, cash management,

payroll, asset and taxation issues, cost containment, pro-forma review for

business acquisition, and profitability assessment. Scope of

responsibilities extended to financial supervision of multi-site operations

for four diverse industry leading organizations, with business units

consisting of up to 400 staff and annual revenues in excess of $400M.

Credentials and Objective:

Awarded a Master of Business Administration from the University of

Rochester, with a triple concentration in Corporate Finance, Operations

Management, and Accounting. Graduate studies are supported by a Bachelor

of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of

Florida. Academic and professional credentials have been enhanced with

additional training in management, operations, supply chain management,

legal compliance, human relations, inventory processes, joint venture

planning, cost consulting, tax administration, mergers and acquisitions and

numerous practical computer based business applications.

These skills and experiences would enable me to serve your organization in

a variety of leadership capacities. I believe my abilities could be

maximized as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or Vice

President of Strategic Planning and Analysis. Given the opportunity to

represent myself to you in person, I am confident you will find me to be a

worthy addition to your leadership team.
