About Alexander Hillis

Senior finance leader in the automotive industry with experience spanning manufacturing operations, FP & A, treasury, and public accounting.I lead plant finance in complex manufacturing environments, partnering with operations and leadership to drive cost discipline, forecast accuracy, and execution at scale. My background provides an end‑to‑end view of finance, connecting capital, strategy, and risk to day‑to‑day plant performance.I am frequently relied on to step into challenging situations, rebuild financial models and reporting structures, and establish standards that enable consistent decision‑making beyond a single site. My work focuses on building durable systems, improving transparency, and enabling leaders to act with confidence.I bring a CPA’s rigor, an MBA’s strategic perspective, and a hands‑on operator’s mindset. I am most effective in roles that require ownership, influence across functions, and finance leadership that goes beyond reporting.
