View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I am a globally experienced executive who sits at the intersection of finance, technology, and transformation - currently serving as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer for Komatsu Americas and our Global Mining & Technology business. Over a 20+ year career across Komatsu, Joy Global, and Caterpillar, I’ve built a reputation for aligning financial stewardship with operational innovation, particularly in capital-intensive industries like mining, construction, manufacturing, and heavy equipment. My leadership spans multiple executive roles - including Chief Information Officer, VP-Transformation, and SVP of Finance - giving me a rare end-to-end perspective on how digital technologies, data intelligence, and disciplined capital allocation can unlock enterprise value. At my core, I’m passionate about bridging strategic finance with scalable innovation, driving business performance in sectors where the margin for error is narrow, and the opportunities for impact are vast.
