Before that, I had facilitated the global financial statement consolidation & transition of 3 major divisions of General Electric worth over a billion dollars in revenue, the creation of a division-wide intranet database for GE which resulted in an over 80% annual increase in resolved intercompany transactions, & the development of staff worldwide on proper GE account reconciliation best practices which led to an annual decrease in unbalanced accounts by over 40%. Prior to that, I had constructed & managed a multi- million dollar budget for 13 individual shopping center properties w/more than 15 million sq. feet of total retail space valued at over 2 billion dollars. I\'m currently seeking an analyst position for any-size growing or established firm in the Sarasota/Bradenton, FL Area.
