Executive Overview

As EVP & CFO of the Tennessee Valley Authority, I draw on deep experience and industry knowledge to drive transformative financial strategies, modernize financial operations, and provide leadership in capital planning. In my 20+ years with the organization I have gained a breadth of experience in roles related to corporate finance, finance business operations, capacity planning, pricing strategy, treasury, SEC reporting, and risk management. Championing a culture of accountability and financial integrity, I spearheaded initiatives to increase our investor outreach, delivering successful results by leveraging traditional and alternative financing structures. I've also identified and seized multiple opportunities to upgrade our technology infrastructure, most recently employing cloud-based tools to enhance scalability, accuracy and financial integration. I prioritize leadership and skills development, as financial innovation is built on strong, foundational knowledge. My other areas of expertise include enterprise stakeholder management, operational efficiency, cost optimization, risk management, compliance, and systems and technology integration.
