As VP of Finance for a cutting-edge technology startup, I leverage over eighteen years of leadership in business, product, technology, operations, and finance to drive strategic growth and innovation. My career is marked by a proven ability to build and guide multidisciplinary teams towards the successful delivery of large-scale, multi-million dollar digital solutions, platforms, and immersive experiences. I am recognized for exceptional customer and client service, operational excellence, and adept financial management, underscored by a solid reputation for fostering trust, executing strategic plans, and delivering results. My global leadership experience spans the design, development, and deployment of groundbreaking products and platforms from startups to Fortune 500 companies, consistently achieving goals on time and within budget. I excel in orchestrating complex, interdisciplinary structures across diverse organizational scales and geographies, managing budgets that scale from individual projects exceeding $40 million, and steering portfolio revenue strategies worth over $270 million. This has not only contributed significantly to revenue growth but also to enhancing operational eficiencies and stakeholder value. Leading by example, I have mentored numerous teams of senior professionals in technology, strategy, finance, and product development, nurturing an environment of professional growth and innovation. My approach is driven by a passion for tackling challenging business and technical problems through analytical rigor, creative thinking, and an innovative mindset, complemented by strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills. With extensive expertise in harnessing data for strategic advantage, I am adept at identifying opportunities for more effective data capture, analysis, and utilization across various technical and business contexts. As a trusted C-suite advisor, I bring a comprehensive perspective to both internal and external stakeholders, aligning financial and operational objectives wi
