Summary: With more than 30 years of executive experience, through five major bus
iness cycles, financial team development for success at six publicly held compan
ies, numerous corporate financial transactions, a mentor leader in strategic com
munications and public affairs for the US Army, two IPO's, and technology manage
ment and with more than 16 years as a Chief Financial Officer or Principal Finan
cial Officer of public companies as well as 7 years as a President or Chief Exec
utive Officer, I serve as an expert financial consultant, retained executive or
board member, and have led companies with significant financial opportunities or
workouts and turnaround in retail operations, supply chain management, and real
estate development. I strongly believe in strategy, planning, budgeting, risk
assessment, and role accountability to achieve measurable, effective results. I
have a reputation of being a strong servant leader, open, and straightforward, a
nd sought for giving expert corporate financial advice. I am seeking a position
as the Chief Executive, Chief Financial Officer, or Board member of a growing, b
ut troubled company in the retail (restaurant, foodservice, grocery, and special
ty retail), hospitality (hotels), or supply chain management (B2B) industries.
Core Competencies: From my educational foundation, based on a doctorate in econo
mics at one of the best schools (UPenn) in the world (in particular general syst
ems theory), I developed a very strong sense of mathematical, measurable, and ma
rket level dynamics for organizational performance as a cornerstone for my execu
tive leadership in finance and treasury operations, both domestic and internatio
nal. From that foundation, over three decades, I led and advised teams based on
a consensual strategic plan and reasonable budget to meet corporate objectives.
I am an expert on understanding two distinct business processes: the retail cyc
le and the external supply chain management distribution (inventory) cycle, dome
stically and internationally, both are inter-related and but both aim to achieve
the most effective cash flow results. I have forged these business process unde
rstandings to turn management teams and companies around, grasping the data and
the human resources required to meet objectives, and to enter the financial mark
ets to acquire the capital resources for shareholders to develop relative, marke
t based rates of return and practicing the highest ethical standards. I am a ski
lled corporate financial executive with a vast set of financial and management e
xperiences. And I have taught that skill as a faculty member at two universities
in their MBA programs: University of Houston and Oklahoma City University.
While those are the formal technical skills, the most fundamental is the develop
ment of management teams. A cohesive, communicative, and qualified management te
am is essential for a successful outcome, for both domestic and international bu
siness segments. I did not acquire this talent easily. Over time, I had to find
a balance between recruiting the best people and providing the clearest communi
cation and inspiration to meet high expectations. It took fifteen years to deve
lop this skill set.
Finally, as a student at Penn in the 1970's, from batch processing to perform mo
dels, Fortran G, to APL to IBM solutions, coupled with my fascination with busin
ess process technology applications and the systems that operated those solution
s, I have extensive intermediate level application and systems experiences with
Oracle Financial and Data Software, Hyperion, SmallTalk, and SAP for large appli
cations and numerous applications with solution to specific functional requireme
nts in finance, supply chain, and homebuilding and construction companies. I hav
e led three major systems conversions at three large public companies and one fo
r a large regional homebuilder. I am also very proficient with Excel and other M
icrosoft applications.
