PROVEN ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Led a team of operations analysts in a central accounting environment to

create an accounting system that was efficient/effective for both corporate

accounting and distribution center/route distribution management for

PepsiCo Food Systems. Communicated to senior corporate management the

challenges/progress of primary customers (eight distribution centers with

annual revenue of $1B). Result: Developed a process for the analysis of

financial statements, reviewed budget to actual variances, consolidated

financial statements, and presented results to corporate senior management

each period.

Received the only "Excellent" internal audit report in the history of

PepsiCo Food Systems fixed asset/capital planning department. Worked in

conjunction with internal auditors as they performed their field work on

$50 million worth of assets including fleet, computer equipment, warehouse

and leasehold improvement items.

Communicated with 50 other KPMG auditors from various countries to complete

a three year SEC audit of major client (Union Carbide). Evaluated the

client's need to raise cash to settle a $3 billion lawsuit after an

accident in India. Achievement of this project took extraordinary

coordination and teamwork which involved working directly with both the

company's Senior Management as well as Partners dealing with inventory

valuation in a very complex standard cost system. Result: Directed audit

field work in timely independent financial statements necessary to sell the

client's companies so that litigation payments could be made on a timely

basis.

Spear-headed a highly visible lead role in working as for GMAC to assess

the client's financial exposure in various dealerships. This project

required tremendous diplomacy in working with both primary client and their

customers, sensitivity to a very volatile industry, and solid decision

making skills to help facilitate the stability of the client's ongoing

success. Result: Increased cooperation and communication between client

and customers has led to improved internal controls, policy compliance,

healthier financial situation, and better market positioning to continue as

a going concern.

Challenged four non-profit organizations to rebuild and refocus after a

series of damaging events challenged each organization's ability to

survive/thrive. Rebuilding strategy getting to know the leaders,

understanding the events that led to the crisis situations, and getting

leadership involved in strategic plan to put the organizations back on

track. Worked with Management Teams regarding administrative/contractual

decisions as well as policy development resulting in major procedural

documents. Result: After a series of stringent evaluations, each

organization returned to be a dominant force in non-profit arena poised for

tremendous future growth.
