ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Created state of the art website for the (NCMA-LASB) National Contract Management Association, Los
Angeles South Bay within budget and ahead of schedule. One of eighty chapters nationwide. This site
promotes the educational services provided to the aerospace, defense and commercial industry providing
certifications such as Certified Federal Contract Manager (which is heavily focused on Federal Acquisition
Regulation-FAR, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplements-DFARS and Cost Account Standards-CAS).
Certified Commercial Contract Manager (CCCM) with training and knowledge of the Universal
Commercial Code and other certification programs. https://www.ncma-lasb.org
• Aggressive analytics and project management took Toyota from a 25% delinquency down to a record
low of 1.5% due to my In-depth knowledge of business processes and corporate priorities. Used Excel to
capture data from the SAP ERP system to deliver weekly and monthly reports and training that served to
impact all division personnel. Incorporated pivot tables, macros, XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, LAMBDA, BYCOL, BYROW,
SCAN, dynamic links and other functions
• $3M in past due balances recovered for Toyota. Through analytics research and innovation, I designed
a workbook to extract master data, transform, consolidate, and load data into customized invoices for a
major client (normally one customized invoice equals 2 hours, became 100 invoices in one hour using Excel
inserting data in rapid fire succession and printing each invoice).
Recruit and trained personnel to advance further past due recovery operations
• $50M plus in charged off balances resolved when I became responsible for implementing business
process flow improvement in the operation of the Loss Recovery department for charged off accounts.
Designed processes to escalate accounts to outside legal counsel using Access, Excel, SAP, and Adobe
Acrobat
