About Aaron Peterson

I am an accomplished Finance Executive with 20 years of finance and analytical experience across multiple industries, including healthcare, retail, aerospace/defense, and mining. I am results-oriented, with a keen ability to quickly identify areas of opportunity, evaluate solutions, and deliver successful results that drive company profit and decrease expense. I am adept at building strong relationships with both business leaders and team members. I am a thought partner, not just a financial data provider, who possesses high-level business acumen to allow for true collaboration with other leaders. Furthermore, I utilize exceptional analytical, communication, and team building skills to effectively work with numerous company divisions. I am a supportive leader, who holds extremely high standards and expectations for my team but realizes the value in learning from failure, proving that I am someone people want to work with and for. As a driven professional, I consistently seek out new challenges and opportunities, regardless of my prior experience in the role I am undertaking. I not only welcome but actively seek out feedback and implement it immediately in order to expand my knowledge and skillset.
