Skills
Summary
Business executive with 15+ years of experience in high-growth and technology companies. I have been a key member of executive management teams that have created billions in shareholder value and thousands of jobs, and contributed as a C-suite officer to the creation and growth of some of technology's most profitable and best-loved brands - PayPal, eBay, and Sonos. Throughout my career, I have established a strong track record of creating financial frameworks and leading financial operations for Fortune 500 companies and for rapidly growing startups. I have gained specific expertise in creating protocols that meet regulatory requirements, assisting startups in navigating daunting IPO and SOX compliance plans, and guiding organizations through the entire lifecycle of mergers, acquisitions, and integrations. I am passionate about helping those I partner with to excel and surpass expectations - from inspiring direct reports and investors to take action to challenging partners to deliver world-class products and services. A few of my career highlights include: * Led the creation and implementation of financial operating and compliance processes for PayPal and eBay. * Leveraged regulatory and industry knowledge to advise multiple startups through IPO and SOX compliance processes. * Spearheaded successful $650M financing campaign across syndicate of 12 banks for CAN Capital, Inc. * Established FP&A team for Sonos, Inc. (NASDAQ : SONO) including identifying and recruiting top talent to build a well-rounded unit.
