About
I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience leading financial transformation, business turnarounds, and strategic growth across sectors including healthcare, banking, manufacturing, and private equity. As a member of the Forbes Finance Council and a proven CFO, I’ve led high-stakes restructurings, executed $500M+ in capital raises, and guided distressed companies back to profitability.
What makes me a strong advisor or board member is my ability to connect financial insight with operational execution—aligning strategy, governance, and performance. I don’t just give advice; I help leadership teams see around corners and act decisively.
Companies that would benefit most from my expertise include:
Mid-market firms navigating growth, transition, or turnaround
Family businesses preparing for succession or external investment
Private equity-backed firms needing board-level discipline and strategic oversight
Healthcare, manufacturing, or logistics companies seeking operational and financial rigor
I offer a steady hand, clear strategic thinking, and a deep network across capital markets and advisory ecosystems
