I am extremely passionate about the business model of project/interim-based professional services. With having leadership focus in this space for the past 16 years, I am keenly aware of how powerful the business model is in terms of how companies are able to access experienced, dedicated resources to plug-in with their teams to cost effectively manage change. This can be to assist with heavy work loads such as acquisition integration, helping drive time sensitive projects or simply backfilling important positions (i.e, interim CFOs and interim Controllers) while replacement searches take place. I am also aware of what a great career opportunity it is for people to elect project/interim work as a career alternative as a non-traditional permanent job. Nothing is more satisfying to me than to see people give their first project a shot, and then embrace it and never let it go and become a dedicated project professional as a career choice. Prior to electing a career change into the leadership aspects of project/interim-based professional services, I was an accountant for 16+ years, including being the CFO of $140M publicly-held company for six years. Prior to that, I held several positions with a few Fortune companies as well as internally leading an IPO of fast a growth entrepreneurial company (we set a then record for first day trading on NASDAQ). These experiences in Accounting greatly assist me in working with clients and understanding their needs and helping scope their project/interim needs.
