Alisa Cardwell

I bring Fortune 50 rigor to mid-market and PE-backed companies: ERP/BI modernization, enterprise controls, and finance organizations built to scale and speed up decision-making. Selected results: as CFO of a $2B global turbine product line, I led pricing, margin optimization and commercial deal structuring, delivering $6.4M in annual margin improvement. I directed sourcing strategy for a $3B indirect global sourcing organization across 82 sites, delivering $100M in cost savings and $370M in cash-flow gains. As Controller & Head of Finance for a $90M, 10-site PE-backed parts distribution platform, I built the finance function post-acquisition, integrated a $26M acquisition, reached clean audit readiness and cut the close cycle by 50%. My background also spans M&A due diligence and integration, divestitures and carve-outs, treasury and working-capital leadership (including an $8B supply-chain finance program), and growing finance teams from 7 to 40+. I have also supported regulated, healthcare-adjacent clients as a fractional CFO, and partner with CEOs, boards and investors on liquidity and long-range strategy.
