CFO-level strategy for mission-driven organizations
Finance and operations leader with 20+ years guiding higher education, nonprofit, and related sectors through growth, realignment, and major capital initiatives. I’ve overseen $200M+ operating budgets and broad portfolios—accounting, treasury, procurement, student accounts, risk management, facilities, HR, and IT—while partnering closely with boards and executive teams. My approach is hands-on and coaching-oriented: build the model, align stakeholders, execute with transparency, and measure what matters.
About me
I am a CFO and operations executive with deep experience across higher education and the nonprofit sector. I’ve led finance and administration for institutions with $100M+ operating budgets and student enrollments ranging from ~2,000 to 40,000+, spanning faith‑based liberal‑arts colleges and large public research universities. My portfolio has covered accounting, treasury, procurement, student accounts, facilities, human resources, and information technology. I partner closely with presidents, provosts, boards, and cabinet leaders to align strategy, budgets, and execution—using contribution‑margin dashboards, multi‑year scenario modeling, and disciplined capital planning to enable transparent, data‑informed decisions.
U.S. Army veteran
Military training shaped my leadership ethos—clarity of mission, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to the team. I bring that discipline to complex institutional challenges, from ERM and compliance to large-scale real estate partnerships and cross-functional change initiatives. I am a US Army service-medal veteran for the campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
