As a CPA and seasoned controller, I’ve led multi-billion-dollar organizations through complex transitions—from IPO readiness and ERP integrations to M&A accounting and SOX compliance.Currently serving as Senior Director, Controller at Artemis Wax, I bring deep expertise in risk management, financial reporting, and process automation. My prior roles at American Tire Distributors and Driven Brands solidified my track record in building high-performing teams, modernizing finance functions, and delivering real-time insights that drive better decision-making.
