My 40+ years of business experience includes leadership positions in audit, financial management and information systems in a broad range of industries such as public accounting, hospitality and gaming, manufacturing, software and public relations/advertising.
My roles have included vice president/chief financial officer, internal audit director, information systems director, re-engineering team leader, corporate/division controller, director of members in business, industry and government for a professional organization and IS audit manager.
