As a seasoned independent director and former public company CEO and CFO with more than four decades of leadership in regulated, capital-intensive organizations, I bring practical insight into how boards and management teams collaborate to navigate growth, complex ownership structures, and strategic transitions. My perspective is grounded in both operational leadership and board service, helping organizations make informed decisions for long-term success.
Business Leader/Transformer with Financial Acumen
I provide boards and leadership teams with guidance on financial strategy, risk management, and growth. I led a NASDAQ-listed bank holding company through asset growth from $480 million to $1.3 billion and a $285 million strategic sale. I also oversaw $500 million in annual revenue as Executive VP and Division President at U.S. Bank. Earlier, as a CPA and auditor with Ernst & Young, I built a foundation in financial operations and governance that continues to inform my work.
I focus on capital allocation, enterprise risk, and strategic transitions to help organizations make decisions that support sustainable growth.
Authentic Relationship Builder
I work with boards and management teams to foster trust, clarity, and effective oversight. Serving on a diverse portfolio—including an ESOP-owned community bank, a venture-backed digital health company, a housing finance authority, and a public media endowment—has given me insight into how governance, ownership structures, and capital priorities shape strategy.
Designated as an Audit Committee Financial Expert, I contribute to financial reporting integrity, governance effectiveness, and strategic alignment. I was recognized by BoardProspects in December 2025 as one of 100 Exceptional Private Company Board Members.
I bring financial expertise, operational insight, and board experience to help organizations navigate complex challenges, make informed decisions, and position for the future.
