I have deployed solutions that improve financial stability, operational

efficiency, service quality and productivity for global manufacturers of

innovative technology products. I consistently enhanced company security by

providing accurate reports, preparing/analyzing forecasting models, and

developing profitable solutions to business challenges.

By establishing internal controls and incorporating new/upgraded

technologies, I ensured operational and financial goals were met. My key

skills include...

o Directing financial strategies to increase efficiencies and

profitability

o Instituting stringent internal processes/procedures to ensure fiscal

controls

o Ensuring all finance and accounting practices meet GAAP and SOX

compliance requirements

o Building, training and mentoring highly skilled teams

Peers describe me as organized, trustworthy, and a resourceful leader who

gets the job done at every level with tenacity and excellence. I earned my

BS in Business Administration from Regis University, have passed the CPA

exam, and have taken numerous leadership, accounting, supply chain and

controller courses throughout my career.

Selected Accomplishments

Uncovered overlooked revenue. Gambros SAP rebate and distributor revenue

functionality system was inaccurate making it difficult to accurately

determine company's financial status. Created excel worksheet and

forecasting report to track revenue adjustments/distribution fees with

inventory reports, discovering $500K in unreported revenue.

Improved world-wide flow of financial information. Tasked to convert

Medtronic Navigations ERP process to SAP 4.7. Collaborated with cross-

functional teams, processing test scripts and updating mapping into new ERP

system. Ensured seamless transition and accurate financial data posting to

GL.

Converted financials of new acquisition. Challenged to incorporate

financials of Medtronic Navigation's new acquisition. Performed on-site

analysis of financials and inventory. Migrated to corporate-shared service,

eliminating duplication of locations. Expanded existing reporting as "new

plant" to include the new purchase for first close.

Implemented internal controls to ensure SOX compliance. Medtronic

Navigation's Israeli plant needed to resolve several internal audit

problems. Restructured employee responsibilities/procedures, ensuring

appropriate checks and balances. Developed system to simulate standard

costing with manual journal entries, successfully closing audit.

Facilitated forecasting process to support business decision-making.

Medtronic Navigation's standard P&L statement made it difficult to analyze

other cost of goods sold. Created simplified report. Increased emphasis on

excess/obsolete products for marketing analysis, resulting in increased

sales and lowering reserves by $5M.
