A Journey from New York to Atlanta:
Navigating Financial Success
Roots in New York
Growing up in New York within a large, entrepreneurial Italian family gave me firsthand insight into the ups and downs of the business world. I witnessed family businesses thrive while others struggled, and I quickly realized that resourceful financial management was often the key to their success. These early experiences sparked my passion for finance and accounting.
A Career in Finance
With a clear purpose, I embarked on a career in finance that has spanned over two decades. I started on Wall Street with the Bank of New York, where I developed foundational skills and gained crucial experience. From there, I held senior finance leadership positions in global companies with revenues in the 9 and 10-figure range, continually expanding my expertise and influence.
Leadership in Atlanta
After serving as CFO of a 9-figure travel tech company in Orlando, I relocated to Atlanta, GA, where I now lead the financial strategy for a rapidly growing 8-figure law firm consulting company. Drawing on my extensive background, I focus on driving sustainable growth and resourceful financial solutions.
Beyond the Numbers
Finance is more than just a profession for me—it’s a passion. I’m committed to helping both businesses and individuals achieve financial success. When I’m not immersed in numbers, I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, philanthropy, and trying (unsuccessfully) to improve my golf game. Each of these activities fuels my curiosity and drive to excel in the dynamic world of finance.
Join me on this journey at ResourcefulCFO.com, where I share insights, strategies, and experiences from my career in finance. Together, let’s explore how we can achieve financial excellence.
I’ve hiked Angel’s Landing in Utah, one of the most dangerous hikes in the world.
I’ve had Indonesia’s famed Kopi Luwak, the world’s most expensive coffee. Humorously referred to as “poop coffee,” it is crafted from coffee cherries that are eaten and passed by the Asian palm civet.
I’ve had dinner on top of the tallest building in the world, the Burji Khalifa in Dubai.
