About Eggert Birgisson

Finance, financial modeling, business intelligence, and process improvements have been my passion, from being a consultant at KPMG (helping clients in various industries identify KPIs, build planning/budgeting models, and monitor execution), a partner at Capacent (managing a team of consultants that worked with multiple clients to build planning models & business intelligence solutions to monitor performance), to working with tech companies (SaaS, e-commerce, online gaming) to evaluate new business opportunities, identify business drivers and establish targets, identify KPIs, build financial models, build BI solutions, and implement processes to plan and monitor execution. I have worked with early stage startups, VC-backed companies, PE-owned companies, and at public companies.My roles have focused on helping companies tell the story of the business, to identify what is driving it and build a narrative that explains the \"why\" of the past and to use that to shed light on the future, and putting processes in place to help execute the plan, identify when variances occur, and implement adjustments when needed.20+ years experience in building teams, managing and mentoring people.25+ years experience in identifying key business drivers, establish targets, building planning models, implementing process improvements, and identifying opportunities for growth and efficiencies. 25+ years experience in identifying key performance indicators, working with data to extract actionable insights, designing dashboards that highlight important insights and trends about key performance indicators and allow for quick decision making with regards to strategy execution and initiative management.
