I bring a deep and diverse wealth of knowledge as a highly ethical senior executive serving as CEO, CFO and COO across multiple companies in several industries. I have decades of international leadership and advisory experience in corporate information technology, finance, accounting, manufacturing, operational excellence, and private equity. I bring new vision, excitement and employee satisfaction, and increased profitability to the companies I work with.

Currently I'm in private equity with a firm based out of Los Angeles, serving as CEO of a portfolio company. I was formerly the global CFO/COO for a US based manufacturing firm with offices in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. I was responsible for restructuring and streamlining operations, leading business and product strategy, and driving the finance and accounting function across the organization. Prior, I was an operating executive in private equity, helping firms with deal sourcing and due diligence, as well as providing executive expertise to portfolio companies. I've also been an entrepreneur, starting companies in technology, consulting, and renewable energy.

Representative clients include: Ceridian Corporation, Case New Holland, FPA Medical Management, National Football League, Ciba Geigy, AT&T, Providian Corporation, Glenayre Technologies, Nynex Corporation, National Health Laboratories.

I have a BA, a double major in Philosophy and Art History from Emory University. I also have an MBA with a concentration in Finance, and completed PhD coursework in Economics, specifically statistics and econometrics.

Just trying to help you go lean without you even realizing it.
