About
Since May 2026
Since May 2026 I have been Chief of Staff to the owner of a portfolio of salons and medical aesthetics practices across South Florida — 4EverYoung Med Spa in Aventura and Doral; Avant Garde Salon & Spa, Portfolio Salon and Gloss Organics Nails in Coral Gables; and Salon Sora in Boca Raton. Five entities, six locations, one set of books to hold together.
Day to day that means accounting and consolidation, internal audit and controls, tax and regulatory compliance, banking and credit facilities, commercial leases, insurance programs and buy-side due diligence — and being the owner's counterparty to lenders, underwriters, brokers, landlords, attorneys and state agencies. I also supervise the portfolio's marketing and brand work, lead its continuous-improvement initiatives, and build with AI and automation tools every day.
Before this I spent two decades in global communications and organizational development: head of corporate communications and OD for Bosch's Eastern Europe region, founder of a Kyiv consulting firm that was acquired, and fifteen years advising founders and owners through TransMedia Group in Boca Raton.
What I do
The functions I carry
- Accounting & consolidation
- Books for three entities in QuickBooks Online: monthly close, multi-entity consolidation, P&L and balance-sheet analysis.
- Internal audit & controls
- Revenue reconciled from point of sale to ledger; a 660-SKU inventory reconciliation across two medical-spa locations; a 41-month merchant-statement chargeback audit; classification, liability and commission-structure reviews with the controls redesigned behind them.
- Tax, regulatory & licensing
- Florida sales and reemployment tax; Department of Revenue powers of attorney across five entities; DBPR clinic permits, municipal licensing and practitioner licensure.
- Acquisitions & banking
- Buy-side due diligence with seller-represented earnings recast to a defensible figure; SBA 7(a) applications run end to end as counterparty to the bank.
- Real estate & insurance
- Six landlord relationships; a commercial build-out from concept through GC bid and approvals; the portfolio's insurance consolidated from several brokers into one program.
- Marketing & communications
- Brand identity, compliance, content and campaigns for every brand in the portfolio; the salons' brand and messaging system built from the ground up.
- Continuous improvement
- Process and policy redesign across the entities, in the tradition of the Continuous Improvement Process I ran at Bosch. Six Sigma Black Belt.
- AI & automation
- Projects scoped, built and shipped with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate, Airtable and HubSpot.
