About Chris Miles

As an established Vice President and Corporate Controller with over 20 years of international experience, I am passionate about driving financial excellence and operational efficiency in dynamic environments. My career has been characterized by a strong focus on reporting quality, compliance, and process improvements, which I leverage to enhance organizational performance. I have a proven track record in leading global financial operations, implementing new financial systems, and managing due diligence and integration of acquired businesses. My expertise spans treasury functions, adherence to GAAP, and continuous improvement of internal controls, all aimed at optimizing performance and ensuring financial reporting accuracy. During my career, I’ve successfully consolidated or replaced legacy systems, reduced financial cycle times, and achieved excellent audit outcomes by fostering strong relationships with external partners. I am energized by mentoring high-performing teams and developing talent, including remote and offshore staff, helping team members balance capabilities and costs while enhancing service levels. My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to manage operational excellence, organizational change and business transformation effectively. I am committed to creating value and driving strategic financial initiatives that align with corporate goals, and I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals and organizations that share a vision for innovation and excellence in finance. Let’s connect! m••••••••@verizon.net
