Re: Leadership Opportunity / Project or Position / Long or Short Term 

Please accept this expression of interest in a new opportunity. I am a mature business professional with a cosmopolitan view and excellent diplomatic skills.  With thirty-five years of practice in public accounting and Management Advisory Services, I seek the next leadership role that would benefit from my diversified, financial and general management experience. I can travel as necessary and relocate easily. A virtual work environment with telecommuting is acceptable.

 

Within the past two years I have: met with officials in the South Pacific to promote qualifications in connection with Sustainable Development Programs; participated with KPMG to serve as on-site leader in a Fiscal Agent proposal for a major infrastructure compact ($235M) between Millennium Challenge Corporation and the Government of Armenia; worked with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as it took troubled banks

that were connected with the US sub-prime crisis into receivership; traveled to the Caribbean to present qualifications for service as CFO or Contract Consultant for a prominent regional academic institution.

 
My core training is in accounting/finance and I have developed skills in general management and business operations through extensive, diversified experience.  I can readily assume senior and executive management responsibilities for an organization, at headquarters or in the field as VP, Project Director, CFO, or Contract Consultant. I have demonstrated leadership skills in government and several industrial groups including: banking, financial services, insurance and real estate; hospitals and health care; manufacturing, utilities and energy; retailing and merchandising.

As a seasoned manager and consultant, I use an A-B-C approach for all projects. My project methodology is 100% successful in any environment and can be described as follows:

* Assess the current circumstances and the desired outcomes.
* Identify Best Practices to develop and achieve the project goals.
* Successfully Consummate the project through a realistic work plan.

Further, I have a proven track record implementing controls, increasing revenue opportunities, reducing costs and improving executive decision processes. I can concurrently manage several projects utilizing expertise in the following areas: Project Management; Internal Controls; Financial Analysis; Budgeting and Forecasting; Financial and Managerial Accounting; Financial and Operational Auditing; Monitoring and Evaluation; Anti-Corruption and Fraud; Strategic Planning and Execution; Productivity Improvement; Mergers and Acquisitions; Organizational Restructuring; SME Development and Consulting; CFO / Controllership / Finance.

 

It would also be useful to consider that my public accounting career is essentially all related to the delivery of Management Advisory Services in government and several industries.  I have demonstrated leadership that includes proven organizational and general management proficiency, as well as the expert capacity to deliver financial and general management consulting services.  Although there is some overlap, my 35 years of diversified work experience (per resume) can be classified as follows:

 

Government (incl. Operations, Taxation, Education) - 10-15 years

Hospitals and Healthcare (incl. Operations, Finance) - 10 years

Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Real Estate - 10 years

Manufacturing, Utilities, Energy, Retail - 5-10 years

  
In summary, I maintain a global perspective and deliver general financial management consulting services to a diverse clientele. I am likable and friendly; a natural leader who relates to people at all levels. I have a big-picture view with attention to details. I am a source of ideas that work and can win cooperation quickly. I manage rapid change easily and inspire others to top performance.

CEOs, please also consider my skill to organize and direct that internal project you have long contemplated but never started. Utilizing your own staff to assist in completing various components of the project, I can save you a very significant amount from what it would cost to bring in an entire consulting team. And your staff's ownership of the resulting changes is a given since they would have participated in the solution. It's a WIN-WIN process for everyone!

A detailed version of my resume is presented on this website, as well as rate and fee information. References are available after a mutual interest is established. Thank you for consideration.
