1. Professional Summary:
Over the last 25 years I have enjoyed insuring the companies I worked for were not only paid, but were paid on time.
This has been done by providing the teams I have directed with the tools and knowledge they needed to make quality
credit decisions and by removing potential excuses customers may have to delay payment. My teams have always
looked for ways to innovate and improve where possible so we could do more with less.
