ABOUT LEXIE RILEY BONITATIBUS
Project Finance Manager/CFO/COO/Executive/Budget Officer with more than 30 years of international experience in finance, operations, risk, economics, data analytics, strategy, and project management. Over the years, I have partnered with multiple startups, small businesses, project teams, global organizations, and large enterprises to face challenges in a changing market landscape, and turn-around financials with organic and inorganic growth. Specific successes include helping these organizations manage large-scale construction projects, enhance revenues, tier expenses, expand globally, raise capital, and acquire and merge with other entities. I have conducted business in over 20 countries. My approach uses my six-step MASCOT strategy (Model, Analyze, Survive, Control, Operate and Thrive). I work on one or many of the process steps depending on the goals & objectives of the organization or division. When put together in an integrated project plan, these six steps can be the building blocks for a very profitable business or a break-even non-profit.As a national athlete in two sports (speedskating and cycling) and having competed at the Masters Rowing Championships in Princeton, I have the drive to help clients thrive. I led large events for Olympic athletes, mentor and advise young professionals in their careers, interview applicants for my alma mater, Dartmouth College, and formally led the women’s network at two organizations for over 1200 women. I hold a doctorate of education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership and Change at SUNY Empire, and I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation in Innovation Pods and Data Analytics. I also hold a masters in International Economics and Finance from the Brandeis International Business School and a bachelors in International Government and Human Geography from Dartmouth College. I take on each new project with a high level of energy and customization. My management style is professional, direct and honest. And I thrive in turn-around situations as a transformational change agent.
