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, effective project execution, and the operational demands of government contracting. 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 align systems with regulatory expectations and operational goals.
Prior to joining Redstone GCI, Kristiane held senior consulting, leadership, and operational system ownership roles delivering Unanet solutions in regulated environments for organizations ranging from small professional services firms to large government contractors. She led full-cycle implementations, advised organizations on system design that strengthened project accounting, billing integrity, and internal control maturity, and served as an ERP and business operations lead responsible for Unanet ERP and AIM system administration. 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. Her experience also includes designing and supporting integrations with platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics SL, QuickBooks, Sage, and MAS products, as well as business process consulting across project cost accounting, budgeting and forecasting, invoicing, contracts management, earned value management, and expense management.
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, implemented scalable learning platforms, and built structured curricula focused on system configuration, compliance-aligned workflows, and best practices for finance and operations teams.
This combination of consulting leadership, operational system ownership, and enterprise training experience enables Kristiane to help clients bridge technical configuration with real-world execution, building systems and processes that are efficient, compliant, auditable, and aligned with government contracting requirements.
