Who I work with
As Partner-in-Charge of Aprio’s Enterprise Risk Management group, I serve clients across a broad variety of industries including professional services, manufacturing, retail, ecommerce, technology and consumer electronics. I partner with C-level executives, business owners and directors of audit whose businesses are facing the four common indicators that dictate the need for risk management support:
- High-growth or overperformance
- Increasingly complex business models
- Underperformance or adverse events
- Plans to transfer ownership within 5-10 years
My specialty
I partner with clients to help them identify and mitigate strategic, financial, compliance and operational risks before they impact their organizations. I leverage more than 30 years of consulting experience and risk-based advisory expertise with Fortune 500 companies to create risk management strategies that include:
- Risk assessments
- Internal audit outsourcing
- Sarbanes Oxley
- Internal controls
- Succession planning
- Operational improvement consulting.
