Current Job Duration: 1 yr 6 mos (until March 2026)

HEADLINE:
Senior Finance Executive and Director of Financial Planning and Analysis F&A (Leader)| M&A Execution, Synergy & Integration | Finance Transformation and Business Model Optimization | Restructuring | Divestitures

PERSONAL SUMMARY:
I am a global finance and strategy executive with 17+ years of experience helping companies navigate complexity, unlock value, and transform how finance drives business. My journey spans Big Four advisory, energy and manufacturing giants, and high-stakes M&A integrations, culminating in a consulting and thought leadership-focused approach on finance transformation, post-merger synergy capture, and strategic planning.

I’ve led $1B+ in M&A integrations synergies, delivered $300M+ in operational savings, and built finance teams that thrive across borders and functions. At Honeywell, I currently lead FP&A for a $1.5B business, aligning Commercial and ISC strategy with financial planning and synergy realization. At McDermott, I directed global FP&A and integration for the CB&I merger, consolidating ERP systems, optimizing tax structures, and delivering $55M in IT savings.

My consulting foundation (PwC, EY, Deloitte) sharpened my skills in M&A advisory, transfer pricing, and business model optimization. Today, I advise boards and leadership teams on finance transformation, ERP strategy, and integration playbooks, while contributing to AI and CFO advisory boards at SPARK, Quartz Network, and Houston Christian University.

I am known for bridging strategy and execution, leading with data and empathy, and challenging conventional thinking with rigor and respect. Whether it’s restructuring a balance sheet, evaluating procurement platforms, or designing a finance operating model, I bring a cross-functional lens and a relentless focus on value creation.
