Where do you want to do in your next position?

I am currently working as a Business Growth Specialist analyzing companies at 40 different levels to identify areas for revenue growth, cost reduction or employee productivity. My ideal full time position would be as a right hand of the president and CEO, mananging the financial operations as well as guiding the operations and revenue of the company. I work best with small and medium sized companies (up to $1 Billion in revenues), where I can contribute at many different levels. My experience and expertise draws on the than 100 clients I have worked with. I use creative strategic applications of marketing that are ignored by most marketing companies to double and triple my clients' revenues. My experience in finance, accounting, technology, marketing and operations enables me to consider the entire business impact on decisions being made. My goal is to make the management team of my clients or the next company I work for, look good, while remaining behind the scenes they execute the strategies I lay out for them.

What is your greatest strength?

I have an innate ability to look at an issue and figure out the best solution based on a knowledge base of information accumulated after working with and reviewing systems and business processes for over 100 companies.

How did you go from being a CPA to Consultant with IT awards and then to Revenue Generation Specialist?

As a CPA with Deloitte, I was always asked to solve some technology issue or some reporting issue that no one else could solve. When I moved to private industry as a financial analyst, I was quickly promoted to AVP with IT oversight and marketing and operational responsibility in addition to my financial duties. At that point, I drove the initiative to get national recognition for our technology advances. Moving onto a technology company I had operations and sales responsibility, but I also had to manage the developers. This is where I got more heavily involved in the development of business solutions. When I had some initial business issue conversations with my contacts, they asked me if I would hire developers and manage the product development. This led to create award winning applications, mostly because they are designed with a business focus first and incorporate all aspects of the business to provide an optimum impact. All this resulted in me being able to help other companies drive their revenues, create efficiencies and increase profits.
