Hello,
I would like to be considered for a COO and or a CFO search. This position appears suitable, but others on your website also appear interesting especially since I have experience in several industries with both operations and financial executive management experience.
Please contact me via email or by phone at 248-761-2189 to request a resume.
Thank you,
Larry Burgess
JP Morgan CFO, COO, Director with 25 years’ experience. I am a senior finance and operations executive with a demonstrated record of success in turning around unprofitable businesses, attract capital, start-ups, create scalable infrastructures, drive profit improvement and transformation initiatives, improve cash-flow, strengthen systems, processes and controls.
Strong strategic, analytic, planning and execution skills. I work collaboratively across all organizational lines as well as with board members, investors and other external parties.
Hands-on leader with extensive restructuring, organizational re-design and change management skills deployed on an international basis.
Specialties: Business restructuring, M&A, profit improvement, business acquisition & integration, planning & analysis, cost control, systems implementation, design of internal processes & controls, business development.
Examples of how I created scalable infrastructures and optimized operations…
• COO for a $500mm bank. CEO wanted to grow to $5B in 5 years and all organically. By using the right technology, processes and replacing some people, in less than two years we exceeded $1B and I only had to add two people.
• CFO for a $6B bank in Michigan. Worst financially performing division in the company. When I left, they were the number one performing division.
• Direct report to CEO for an international telecommunications manufacturer. Good revenue growth but absolutely no focus on EBITDA. Rewrote sales compensation plans to incent profitability (was purely revenue based) and cash collections. Instituted job costing on all projects so we could understand the level of profitability by job and why. Cleaned up operations and company was sold to a competitor for $164.4M (75% was in cash) at a 20% market premium.
• In my current role I identified excess capacity, drove individual accountability while launching several new products that were gaps in our line-up. Net results have reduced expenses while increasing revenue.
Mike, I’m very interested in this position in Tennessee and feel like I would be a good fit for it. I’ll email you my resume to the address shown for you. Thanks!
