About
I’ve spent more than 15 years working where finance and Information Technology (IT) meet — accounting systems such as QAD, OneStream, Infor, and Oracle for multinational manufacturers, and the integrations, data models, and reporting that make those systems useful. That work has taken companies through system upgrades, cloud migrations, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modernizations, and it sits on a formal foundation: a Master of Science in Information Systems and a Bachelor of Science in Finance.
Most recently in industry, I was the senior manager of accounting systems and IT business partner at a global agriculture and infrastructure manufacturer, where I led a team of financial system managers, partnered with corporate accounting to solve financial system problems, and carried the IT/finance roadmap worldwide. Before that, at a global electronics manufacturer, I managed IT-finance projects across regions and defined the finance and accounting reporting foundations and cost accounting design.
Through BASH Consulting, I bring that same enterprise-grade work — financial systems, ERP, data architecture, and cloud — to businesses that can’t justify a big-firm engagement, and I teach the people inside those businesses to run their own systems. Selected projects from this record are written up as engagement snapshots, and the full history is below. If you want to talk through a project, contact us.
Open-source work
I build in the open — the same standard I hold BASH partners to. A few projects worth a look, including the theme this very site runs on.
