About me...

Imagine a senior-level Finance & Operations executive who is also an internationally recognized expert in the field of workplace relationship management and workplace conflict neutralization. 

And, imagine this Finance leader has co-authored a book on workplace culture, written hundreds of articles on leadership, communication, and employee behaviour, and conducted seminars on such topics as sales, marketing, cash flow management. 

Now, imagine this financial professional has spent the past 5 years actively embracing entrepreneurial principles to develop new, innovative ways to minimize costs, increase brand exposure, and find new sources of competitive advantage. 

This is who I am. I have built a successful 15 year career in finance, operations, leadership, strategy development, and employee relations by successfully leveraging the relationships between people, performance, and profitability. Never satisfied with yesterday's results, I drive improvement wherever it is needed most. Whether I am applying my skills to a large corporation, a small business, or a tech startup, I have become recognized as an expert that other business leaders, managers, and professionals seek advice from when seeking to more effectively lead their own teams and companies.

I am confident that the depth and scope of my knowledge and expertise will be of great value to your company in a senior leadership role.
