She has significant merger and acquisition (M&A) experience, having performed financial due diligence for UK and Australian companies and M&A integration projects of various complexity. For the firm, she implemented a Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Center of Excellence for statutory reporting.

She is often brought in to discuss a client’s specific needs and concerns as a focused GCRS advisor, sharing her first-hand experience as a former client of RSM’s GCRS offering.
