Career History

Deloitte Consulting LLP, May 2009 to December 2025: Progressed from Consultant to Senior Manager, with promotion to Senior Manager in 2020. Assignments represented $644M in aggregate program and portfolio scope across twenty-one countries and combined contractor finance, multi-entity controllership, proposal pricing, systems implementation, entity startup and closeout, and fourteen years of direct people leadership.

Accountability varied by assignment, including senior finance authority on the $238M International Donor Organization account and the $219M Afghanistan Civil Service Support program, and direct finance and operations accountability for the $74.96M Southern Africa Energy Program and $20M Caribbean Clean Energy Program.

Most Recent: Served as Senior Manager and functional finance lead for the International Donor Organization account, shifting the $238M account from growth and pursuit support to financial triage, cash prioritization, invoicing, close, pricing, and structured wind-down after federal policy changes and stop-work orders affected multiple programs.

BearingPoint Inc., September 2005 to April 2009: Progressed through analyst, PMO, financial-modeling, and project-controls roles before moving to Deloitte following Deloitte's 2009 acquisition of BearingPoint's North American Public Services practice. The Emerging Markets account subsequently became the International Donor Organization account within Deloitte GPS, creating a continuous account lineage across most of the twenty-year career.
