WORK HISTORY
Vice President Finance @Benchmark
Tempe, AZ, US
Benchmark Electronics, Inc. is in the business of manufacturing electronics and providing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of precision technology, aerospace and defense, industrial control equipment, and medical devices.As a trusted financial advisor, I work closely with the CFO, overseeing long-range planning, forecasting, investor relations, and sales finance support. I lead our annual operating plan, navigating complex financial cycles and working hand-in-hand with the executive team to meet both internal and external financial targets. I also work closely with the Head of Investor Relations to manage the quarterly earnings process—preparing earnings decks, drafting CFO scripts, and providing key insights to explain financial variances.Additionally, I identified considerable cost savings by conducting a span of control analysis, optimizing management structure, and aligning headcount across teams. I also managed the implementation of an EPM system, streamlining our planning and forecasting processes, and ultimately saving the equivalent of three full-time positions.
