Profile

Accomplished Chief Financial Officer with a distinguished career as a financial and operations leader in the supply & distribution and food industries. Proven expertise in driving operational improvement, optimizing supply chain efficiency, managing treasury functions, overseeing finance operations, and fostering strong investor relations. Brings robust business acumen to support strategic initiatives and enhance infrastructure for sustainable growth through meticulous operational organization and performance metrics.

Career Highlight 1: Within the first six months in my new role, I identified significant inefficiencies in outdated procedures. By implementing streamlined processes and integrating innovative technology, I helped the company reduce corporate overhead by 30%.

Career Highlight 2: I developed a multi-year strategy to align supply chain, manufacturing, and sales with the ultimate goal of improving our leveraged position and reducing debt. The strategy focused on just-in-time inventory, dynamic freight management, lean manufacturing principles, and competitive pricing. This approach significantly boosted revenue, reduced costs, and ultimately eliminated revolving debt.

Career Highlight 3: I successfully implemented a new payroll software that seamlessly integrated with our ERP and POS systems, transforming the payroll process for over 500 employees. By automating a previously manual system, we reduced payroll processing time from an entire week to just an afternoon, saving over 40 hours of labor each payroll cycle. This solution also enabled the business to scale to additional locations without increasing corporate overhead.

Each one presented its own unique challenges, and I have developed a strong ability to identify problems, devise effective solutions, and prioritize tasks to ensure optimal outcomes.
