I’m a strategic finance leader with a track record of shaping high-impact financial planning and performance outcomes in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. In my current role as Finance Director at CVS Health, I've led planning, forecasting, and strategic financial initiatives supporting a ~$300 billion P&L — translating data into decisions that drive operational excellence, sustainable growth, and measurable performance improvements. Over the course of my career, I’ve partnered with executive leadership teams to deliver financial insights that inform strategy, optimize resource allocation, and strengthen organizational resilience. My background spans corporate finance, managed care strategy, analytical modeling, and performance management — blending rigorous financial discipline with big-picture thinking to solve complex business challenges. I’m also passionate about bridging finance with social impact through entrepreneurship. As the founder of Spera Connect, I work at the intersection of government, nonprofits, and private sector partners to foster collaboration and build solutions that drive outcomes with measurable impact. This work reflects my belief in the power of aligned incentives and cross-sector leadership to tackle systemic challenges.
