About

I am a motivated, detail-oriented FP&A professional with experience in financial modeling, investment analysis, strategic development, team leadership and merger integrations particularly in the technology and finance industries. Prior to my role at Rithum, I helped grow the FP&A functions at other PE-backed SaaS companies, including Virgin Pulse which achieved “unicorn” valuation through acquisitions and organic growth, worked as an internal Management Consultant to TIAA, and studied Finance and Accounting at Boston College Carroll School of Management while interning with the State of Rhode Island.
