Fiduciary strategy and operations leadership.
Strategy and operations leader with a fiduciary, logic-driven approach to risk — designing, executing, and stewarding organizations and initiatives across the full lifecycle.
I’m brought into complex, high-risk situations to rebuild clarity from first principles, test hypotheses against evidence, and design changes that hold up under pressure.
Risk doesn't respect silos. The range is intentional — financial, operational, legal, and human systems interact over time, so I focus on the seams where accountability breaks down.
Professional formation includes Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young, IBM Global Services (via Etensity), and Navigant (Guidehouse), followed by fiduciary leadership across multi-country, high-scrutiny portfolios at MCC.
Work and perspectives have been featured by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
My technical and creative work — including platform design and applied analytics — reinforces systems thinking, pattern recognition, and execution discipline.
Where I deliver the most value
- Decision framing and accountable ownership.
- Controls, approvals, and reconciliation discipline.
- Evidence-ready operations that hold under scrutiny.
