A finance foundation and a career in technology businesses

I started in software, building applications and workflow automation for startups and small businesses. I then spent five years in banking operations and financial control at Citigroup and First Niagara Bank, where the work was controls, valuation and audit-ready reporting.

At Stark & Wayne I moved to the commercial and operating side of an enterprise technology company: enterprise sales, pricing, contracts, product strategy and the reviews that hold them together.

Since 2023 I have led Bootstrap Buffalo, working hands-on with more than 30 founder teams on strategy, revenue, product, delivery and capital readiness.

My next step is deliberate. I want a long-term role with one company and one team, where I can develop people and build results that last.
