BUSINESS EXPERIENCE –- CURRENT:
I work as an interim CFO for companies and I work on a project basis.

My concentration is execution; nothing happens unless the improvements are implemented.

In my over twenty-five years in business working for governments and non-profits, I have developed my skills by working long and hard, and continually building on my expertise.
