ABOUT BLAINE FIELDER
I’m a finance and strategy professional with experience operating at the intersection of enterprise FP & A, executive decision support, and data-driven business transformation.Currently, I serve as a Lead Financial Analyst at AT & T, where I act as Chief of Staff to the Vice President of Financial Planning & Operations and lead enterprise FP & A efforts supporting a $3B+ OpEx organization. My work spans executive forecasting, consolidation and scorecards for senior leadership, full-cycle P&L analytics, and strategic business cases that inform resource allocation, operating priorities, and long-term planning.I’m known for translating ambiguous, cross-functional business questions into clear, actionable insights for VP, SVP, and CFO-level stakeholders. Recent work includes leading a retail audit transformation business case that identified $4.5M in annual cost savings and freed minutes per year of auditor capacity for higher-value work.Earlier in my career, I held client-facing advisory roles at AT & T Business, where I managed account strategy for $5M+ in recurring revenue, built financial proposals and ROI models, and partnered cross-functionally across sales, finance, product, and operations. That experience sharpened my ability to balance commercial judgment with analytical rigor and executive communication.My background spans corporate finance, strategy, analytics, and client advisory, with exposure across telecommunications, SaaS, cloud, cybersecurity, financial services, and public-sector finance. I hold an MBA in Strategic Management and a BS in Finance, and I’m currently pursuing a Master of Science in Data Science at the University of Notre Dame to deepen my analytical and quantitative toolkit.I’m motivated by roles that combine financial rigor, structured problem-solving, and ownership of complex business decisions, particularly in finance, strategy, consulting, finance transformation, and business operations.
