About Beth Boettcher Finke

As a Senior Executive, I held leadership roles in consulting, sales, and customer experience at Accenture and Oracle, thriving in a culture focused on bottom lines and career milestones. At Oracle, I led the transformative shift of their consulting business, emphasizing cloud delivery best practices and building a profitable rapidly growing cloud consulting organization. I also had the privilege leading the HCM North America sales organization, achieving double-digit bookings growth. I also thrived while shaping and leading a highly transformational sales excellence program to improve sales approaches and the customer experience for Oracle in North America. In my 19 years at Accenture, I helped consistently double our annual cloud applications consulting business for over ten years and shaped Accenture\'s Cloud First business as a cloud consulting pioneer. As a hands-on executive, I created a supportive and collaborative environment, immersing myself in dozens of customer projects. I loved leading thriving consulting teams while working with some of the most elite brands across communications, high tech, banking, insurance, and capital markets.Recognizing the need for a more balanced and fulfilling life, I stepped away from corporate life to invest in experiences that bring me and the people around me joy. I now provide coaching, mentoring, and public speaking to help other executives who are feeling stuck. I’ve established a blog, drawing from my own experiences to provide relatable examples. My goal is to help other executives overcome the challenges that are a natural part of leadership, while promoting a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their lives.As a speaker, I naturally bring a positive and optimistic outlook. I seek to inspire other executives by sharing success stories, emphasizing the potential for growth, and encouraging a resilient mindset. I dedicate my time giving back to the community, embracing creativity, and contributing to company boards to help other ambitious leaders achieve success.

Experience

1. Board Member

   BriteCore

   Mar 2020 — Present

   Britecore’s cloud-native platform caught my interest, as did its commitment to innovation, reflected in the contemporary products it brought to the market. As someone deeply immersed in the world of cloud technologies, the prospect of contributing to a cloud-native organization aligned perfectly with my professional background and strengths.The company’s growth trajectory and ambition to scale added another layer of excitement. Joining their board wasn\'t just about being part of a successful enterprise; it was about contributing to the strategic decisions that would shape the company\'s future.What sealed the deal for me was the company leadership\'s clear understanding of the critical link between solution implementation, customer satisfaction, and revenue growth. This holistic approach appealed to my own belief in the power of seamless implementation to drive customer retention and, ultimately, revenue improvement.The company operates down market, a domain that was entirely foreign to me. This presented a learning opportunity that I eagerly embraced. Navigating a different segment of the market allowed me to broaden my perspectives and gain insights into new business models and customer dynamics.As a board member, I provide guidance on go-to-market strategies and consulting/implementation services, as well as share cloud implementation methodology best practices. I’ve guided the company in assessing the need for a partner ecosystem versus an independent approach, and have introduced rapid implementation approaches that I\'ve successfully employed in the past—achieving a 30% reduction in both time and costs for the implementation process.
