Games and Bungie I work as a Fractional CFO and strategic finance partner helping companies turn complex financial data into clear decisions that drive growth, profitability, and operational clarity. My background spans AAA video games, venture-backed startups, agencies, and high-growth businesses, where I’ve led everything from financial modeling and fundraising to operational finance and executive strategy. At Warner Bros. Games, I managed financial planning for $450M+ AAA production budgets, partnering directly with studio leadership and executives to guide product investments, forecasting, and long-range strategy across major franchises including Harry Potter, DC, LEGO, and Mortal Kombat. At Walmart’s Store No. 8, I served as a Director of Finance (FP&A) on a strategic contract engagement, supporting early-stage ventures within Walmart’s innovation incubator. I built financial models for zero-to-one products, led forecasting and scenario planning, and partnered with product and executive teams to evaluate investments, optimize cost structures, and guide go-to-market strategy in highly ambiguous environments. At Bungie, I worked in FP&A helping business units improve forecasting accuracy, identify strategic opportunities, and align financial planning with long-term product strategy. Alongside my corporate work, I operate as a Fractional CFO for growing companies, helping founders and operators build financial systems that support scale.
