TBAbout Taneisha
FP&A Modernization (AI) | Governance | Exec Briefs
I help leaders in complex, regulated environments move from spreadsheet chaos to decision-ready planning and execution fast. Former operations/portfolio lead at CDC and Deloitte consultant supporting federal health and Fortune 500 clients. I don’t start with more analysis I start with a decision hypothesis and a thin-slice model, then let the data do the talking. Result: ~40–50% faster decisions through driver-based planning, KPI governance, dashboards, and AI-assisted board briefs.
Impact:
- Led $200M–$330M annual portfolios with 98%+ execution through 10–15% cuts
- Built forecasting + scenario models delivering ~92% accuracy for 12–24 month horizons
- Consolidated 50+ trackers → 35 Power BI dashboards, cutting reporting effort 40–60% and improving data accuracy 25–76% (strong senior-leader adoption)
- Standardized 50+ KPIs + 15 planning drivers to strengthen governance, data integrity, and repeatability
- Produced 500+ executive briefings translating dollars + capacity + risk into clear approvals and pivots
- Optimized a $600M+ portfolio, redirecting ~32% of funds (~$192M) to mission-critical priorities
How I deliver (clear outputs):
- Scenario Planning Sprint (5–10 days): driver map + model + 3-option decision brief
- Dashboard + KPI Governance (2–6 weeks): KPI dictionary + executive Power BI pack + operating cadence
- AI-assisted Board Brief (3–7 days): draft-ready narrative + charts + assumptions + risk sensitivities (governed and reviewable)
- AI-assisted Finance Data Governance Starter Kit (2–4 weeks): KPI definitions + data lineage + controls checklist + RACI + issue log (audit-ready)
- AI-Accelerated Planning Cycle Reset (10–15 business days): planning calendar + templates + assumptions library + automation quick wins + board-ready pack
