About

As a digital transformation leader in the accounting and finance space, I specialize in enterprise solutions that unlock efficiency, improve compliance, and enable leadership to make better, faster, and more informed decisions. Over my career, I’ve led high-impact transformation initiatives leveraging platforms such as Workiva, Cadency, GTreasury, SAP, and Coupa, aligning technology with business strategy to deliver measurable ROI. From rethinking processes to implementing automation, I help organizations achieve operational excellence across the Record-to-Report and Source-to-Pay cycles. My approach blends Agile methodology, AI in finance, and Design Thinking—collaborating across departments to navigate “the art of the possible” and execute on it. I’ve managed full end-to-end RFP processes and subsequent implementations for tools that have delivered significant cost savings and productivity gains. I thrive at the intersection of business and technology—connecting stakeholders, challenging the status quo, and delivering sustainable change that drives financial and operational performance.
