Fractional CFO and Interim Finance Leadership for Product-Based and Growth Companies
I bring CFO-level financial leadership to companies that need stronger financial visibility, operating discipline, margin performance, and decision support during periods of growth, transition, or transformation.
With more than 20 years at Nike and adidas, I combine deep corporate finance expertise with hands-on interim and fractional support. I help leadership teams quickly assess what matters, connect financial performance to business drivers, strengthen processes and reporting, and deliver practical improvements. By creating greater structure and visibility across the finance function, I help reduce the administrative burden on CEOs so they can spend more time leading, growing, and improving the business.

- Navigating a leadership transition or business transformation
- Operating with inefficient or heavily manual finance processes
