My past contributions to various enterprises range from assembling and training highly effective cross-functional teams to initiating internal controls that have saved employers and clients millions. A sample of my past achievements includes:
• Optimizing accounts receivables (aging from 120 down to 60 days) and accounts payables (aging from 90 down to 60 days) processes for Waste Conversion Technologies, recruiting a highly qualified credit manager and clerical staff and saving over $20,000 in staffing costs.
• Slashing bank fees by 50% for Prime Resources Corporation through development of PC wire transfer procedures to allow more cost-efficient payment of overseas vendors.
• Leading the redesign of worldwide subsidiary MRP and BOM programs at Arburg, Inc. These programs were designed with German headquarters staff and were introduced at other worldwide subsidiaries (daughter companies) after a trial period in the US.
• Introducing SOX month-end journal entry procedures at an *****-***** client (adapting a format obtained from a prior client who used the same Big 4 audit firm).
