CollapseAccomplishments

Highlights:

CFO at the Igility Group as well as the Financial Controller for the Agency representing IBM in Bermuda from 2003 to 2006. I was required to balance the friction that resulted in wearing two hats one being the Controller for the main customer of the company that I had CFO responsibility for. Effectively dealt with maintaining the Chinese wall between these organizations. Experienced in managing and providing support to multiple organizations. This was honed in Barbados when I had a total of 15 organizations under my control. Size ranged from a few thousand dollars in assets to over U$100 million in assets. Comfortable with establishing or rebuilding organizations.

Companies I like:

Beecher Carlson, Strategic Risk Solutions, KPMG, Jet Blue and Towers Perrin
