• 1 - 100 Employee

• Controller

  • Feb 2011 - Oct 2012

  Sterling Shoes (“Sterling”) was a publicly-traded Canadian footwear retailer. Reporting to the CFO and involved in executive management meetings, this role oversaw a team of nine employees to provide internal and external financial reporting. I led the strategic redesign of the business processes for the purpose of an ERP implementation. In October 2011, Sterling filed for creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). The company was restructured and most of Sterling’s assets were sold to Town Shoes. As part of this transition, my role was terminated as Controller of Sterling and re-hired as a consultant to Town Shoes for six months until October 2012. This was a dynamic role which constantly evolved to provide support for executive decision-making, which eventually extended to restructuring and liquidation activities during the CCAA period.
