Leadership roles at Warner Bros. Games and Bungie
I work as a Fractional CFO and strategic finance partner helping companies turn complex financial data into clear decisions that drive growth, profitability, and operational clarity.

At Bungie, I worked in FP&A helping business units improve forecasting accuracy, identify strategic opportunities, and align financial planning with long-term product strategy.
Alongside my corporate work, I operate as a Fractional CFO for growing companies, helping founders and operators build financial systems that support scale.
