About me
I currently serve as VP of Finance for Navy Pier, Inc., a cultural hub and tourist hotspot located on the beautiful Lake Michigan in Chicago. Navy Pier is a US-based nonprofit that managed the redevelopment of historic Navy Pier, and we currently manage programming and operations, including working with 70+ restaurants, businesses, nonprofits, a hotel, and marina that call Navy Pier home. We welcome more than 8 million visitors each year. I have been in the cultural/tourism space for 4+ years and the nonprofit finance sector for 10+ years.
I was pleased to serve on the GCDN finance and business models working group over the past year and am interested to continue discussions on how cultural districts are solving for operational and funding challenges in innovative ways.
