Bringing technical accounting expertise, translating new accounting pronouncements into real-world solutions.
Leading a talented team managing 34 direct reports in a 200+ finance organization, developing future finance leaders along the way.
Stepping up strategically but also not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on when needed.
Supporting executive and Board communications (Board presentation skills are a plus, but not a must-have!)
