Developed and manage the finance department for the firm’s AM business by establishing essential functions around accounting, forecasting, financial reporting, budgeting, and performance metrics. Managed significant increase in staff size to 150+ employees by implementing a data-driven, AI-assisted staffing projection model estimating incremental headcount needs based on the forecasted growth of managed assets. Orchestrated multiple digital transformation initiatives leveraging AI and automation to streamline revenue forecasts, cost allocations, and asset valuations — reducing report production time by ~50% and reallocating team capacity toward higher-value financial analysis.Actively embed AI tools into core finance workflows — including large language models such as Claude and Claude Cowork — to accelerate financial modeling, variance analysis, and executive reporting, improving analytical depth and elevating the quality of insights delivered to senior leadership.
