Speaking & Events

Finance. Systems. AI. Straight talk, real ops, zero fluff.


I speak to founders, operators, and finance teams about what actually works when scaling systems — especially when you don’t have a giant budget or full-time staff. Whether you’re at a local accelerator or a national conference, I bring grounded insight from 20+ years in the field — helping teams make better decisions about finance, ERP, and AI.

Topics I Cover:

  • AI for Operators – What’s real, what’s not, and how to use it without becoming an engineer

  • Scaling Finance Systems – From QuickBooks to ERP: how to know when it’s time and how to do it right

  • Fractional CFO Strategy – How lean teams can get investor-ready without hiring a full-time CFO

  • Bootstrapped Doesn’t Mean Blind – Planning, forecasting, and clarity for self-funded teams

  • How to Talk to Your CFO (or Hire One) – A non-boring session for founders and CEOs

Formats & Availability:

I'm available for:

  • Panels, webinars, or fireside chats

  • Conference sessions or private offsite workshops

  • Virtual sessions for accelerator cohorts or peer groups

I'm based in the DC area and available for both virtual and select in-person events.
