Work Background
NetPlus AllianceVP Finance, IT and Operations
Mar. 2015 - Jul. 2024United StatesAt NetPlus Alliance, I served as the top financial executive, overseeing a wide array of responsibilities as Vice President of Finance and IT. I led all financial and IT operations, including Human Resources, Payroll, Benefits Management, and rebate management, while driving a remarkable 225% revenue growth during my tenure. Managing a $25 million operating budget, I provided strategic oversight across departments to ensure efficiency and alignment with organizational goals.
I transitioned payroll, HR, and benefits processes from third-party consultants to in-house operations, achieving considerable annual savings and improving control. I negotiated comprehensive health benefits and implemented an in-house 401(k) program, enhancing employee satisfaction and retention. In IT, I developed and executed strategic plans, led the creation of a proprietary member-facing portal to improve customer engagement, and integrated legacy financial systems with the company’s CRM, enhancing data accuracy and reporting capabilities.
Additionally, I managed annual IT budgets of $500,000, ensuring projects were delivered on time and within budget. I directed all financial operations, including strategic planning, FP&A, risk management, financial reporting, audit management, and compliance. I also implemented advanced financial modeling and forecasting techniques, provided strategic guidance to senior leadership, and drove vendor negotiations to optimize financial outcomes. My broad scope of responsibilities allowed me to position the finance and IT functions as central pillars of the company’s operational excellence and long-term success.
