Finance leader with 14+ years driving growth, margin expansion, and operational excellence across SaaS and technology organizations — from PE-backed transformations to venture-backed scale. My experience spans FP & A, strategic finance, pricing and packaging strategy, ARR/NRR optimization, due diligence, M&A integration, debt refinancing, cashflow management, and building finance + analytics orgs that elevate decision-making.I partner closely with CEOs, cross-functional leaders, PE sponsors, and boards to connect financial insight to operational execution. I enjoy untangling complex monetization, retention, and productivity challenges — and converting them into frameworks that scale with the business. Recent work includes:• Turning a negative-EBITDA SaaS business into a positive run-rate through pricing strategy, operating model redesign, and restructuring• Building ARR and cohort profitability models that informed packaging strategy and drove improvements in margins and net retention• Leading financial diligence, valuation modeling and purchase-price negotiations during acquisition processes (buyer & seller side)• Refinancing credit facilities and extending runway while improving working capital discipline• Rebuilding systems, controls, and close processes to support informed and timely decisionsI thrive in environments where finance is not just a reporting function, but a driver of strategy — connecting monetization, product, GTM efficiency, FP & A, and capital strategy into a single operating rhythm.If you’re scaling, optimizing, or transforming a SaaS business, I’m always open to connecting with other operators, investors, and leaders.
