Chief Financial Officer
I prepared for my role as CFO of HSS by serving some 20 years in several different hospitals and healthcare systems as CFO, accountant, finance team member, and occasionally - honorary housekeeper, admissions clerk or security officer. Along the way I also was fortunate enough to serve on the HSS Board of Directors for roughly 10 years. It’s energizing to be a part of an organization like HSS, where we aspire to be the best at what we do while making the world a better place. I’ve always believed that the role of finance and accounting should be more than just a scorekeeper for the business. It needs to be an idea-generator and influential educator to keep us tracking toward long-term goals. In that regard, we’re striving to constantly evolve and to bring new rigor to our financial reporting and management. We also strive to have a lot of fun. Meet me in the basement for a game of ping-pong when you visit. (I’m the defending champ) and we’ll talk numbers anytime.
