My Background
I’ve been in an array of roles spanning from an independent consultant, to finance director at a multi-billion dollar financial services firm, to the CFO of PE-backed companies, and VP of Finance at a rapidly scaling technology company. I’ve helped startups raise over $15 M, grow revenue $30 M, oversee budgets of $100 M+, and led strategic initiatives that turned a company from unprofitable to profitable.
