Chief Financial Officer

As a transformational finance leader and visionary CFO, I drive outstanding business success for innovative, technology-driven companies. I possess unparalleled leadership experience in all areas of finance, in addition to other key business functions such as IT, operations, and sales enablement. Overall, I am a well-rounded professional who builds scalable, high-performance business infrastructures that propel companies into the future.

Highlights of my achievements include:

- Transformed the entire technology stack for 3 Kelly Services brands (Softworld, NextGen, and GTA). Defined and executed the strategy to modernize the IT infrastructure.

Having lived and worked in both the U.S. and Canada, I’ve developed a strong cultural competency that has influenced my ability to build trust between individuals with any background.
