Approach

My focus is on driving income statement improvements by identifying and solving process inefficiencies with the greatest financial impact. I use a unique approach that integrates the income statement into the operations, and leverages analytical skills and manufacturing process improvement techniques. I also create and execute organic and acquisition growth strategies that enhance the free cash flow and value of the company. I am passionate about developing and empowering teams, fostering a strategic culture, and delivering exceptional results.

How you structure a model is often equally as important as the data you input. Read more
