As a District Controller at GFL, I led every aspect of the financials for seven districts. I assisted in daily operations and consistently provided direction to supervisors in their daily interactions. I supported Management in understanding their results and analyzing opportunities to improve performance. I supervised staff and my team and I led initiatives to reduce shipping costs for commodities and was instrumental in developing and work practices and efficiencies for a recycling plant. As a controller, I integrated multiple acquisitions re engineering and automating processes to build efficiencies across the organization. I was responsible for working closely with an analyst to automate reporting and to customize software to produce reports while training staff to understand affective visualization techniques and creating dashboards to help management make decisions. I also led the review of processes to accelerate the financial reporting process by over 40% significantly reducing waste and journal entries with automation. Many of my projects at GFL were technology driven and focused on efficiencies to enable growth.

As a Senior Manager at Valard, I gained experience in managing large diverse teams. I managed over 90 people across Canada on multi-million dollar projects. As a project manager, I worked on internal projects which included leading safety, quality, operations, finance, and IT teams as well as operational construction projects which were diverse and included multiple types of construction.
