If this organization could use a strong Controller with a proven record of
slashing expenses, boosting profits and maximizing administrative
functions, then my experience will be of particular interest.

Administrative experiences for various manufacturing companies of all
sizes. I have built successful cross-functional teams that have opened the
doors to new and exciting processes that achieve outstanding results.
Currently working to establish Lean Accounting for the Lean Enterprise.
I have attained my Masters in Business Administration as well as a Bachelor

I can be an effective leader for your organization.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please contact me at your
