What Success Looks Like (1218 months) Key systems launches delivered on time with strong stakeholder confidence. Post-go-live environments stabilized quickly with a clear governance and enhancement cadence. Measurable improvements in close/planning cycle time, data consistency, and user adoption. A scalable finance systems operating model that can absorb growth and complexity. Ideal Background 15+ years in progressive finance leadership roles with significant ownership of finance systems and finance transformation. Proven track record leading large-company EPM implementations (planning/forecasting plus consolidation/close) and integrating EPM with auxiliary systems (e.g., workforce planning, data platforms, MDM, reporting layers).
