Professional Experience

At Redstone GCI, Kristiane works closely with government contractors to implement and optimize Unanet ERP and CRM environments that support compliant financial operations, accurate reporting, and effective project execution. She provides hands-on consulting across discovery, configuration, data migration, testing, training, and post-implementation optimization, partnering with finance leaders, contracts teams, project managers, and executive stakeholders to ensure systems align with regulatory expectations and operational goals.

Prior to joining Redstone GCI, Kristiane held senior consulting and leadership roles delivering Unanet solutions in regulated environments. She led full-cycle implementations and advised organizations on system design that strengthened project accounting, billing integrity, and internal control maturity. Her experience includes direct operational system ownership as an ERP and business operations lead, where she served as Unanet ERP and AIM system administrator. In that role, she oversaw security and configuration governance, improved cross-functional workflows across accounting, HR, procurement, and project management, and supported leadership with system-based reporting aligned to DCAA expectations.

Earlier in her career, Kristiane spent more than a decade at Unanet in progressive leadership roles, including Principal Sales Engineer, Senior Sales Engineer, and Director of Unanet University. As Director of Unanet University, she led the strategic development of enterprise training and certification programs for customers, partners, and internal teams. She implemented scalable learning platforms and built structured curricula focused on system configuration, compliance-aligned workflows, and best practices for finance and operations teams, helping standardize how organizations adopted and governed the Unanet platform.

Across her career, Kristiane has supported Unanet implementations for organizations ranging from small professional services firms to large government contractors. Her experience includes designing and supporting integrations with platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics SL, QuickBooks, Sage, and MAS products, as well as providing business process consulting across project cost accounting, budgeting and forecasting, invoicing, contracts management, earned value management, and expense management. This combination of consulting leadership, operational system ownership, and enterprise training experience enables her to bridge technical configuration with real-world execution.

At Redstone GCI, Kristiane applies this depth of experience to help Unanet clients build systems and processes that are not only efficient, but compliant, auditable, and aligned with the operational demands of government contracting.
