ABOUT GRANT BURNETT
Finance Business Partner with 20+ years of progressive experience, currently serving as Global Energy Finance Business Partner at Speedcast Communications — a leading provider of managed satellite connectivity solutions. I partner directly with the Global Head of Sales on financial performance, strategic modelling, and value creation across the Energy vertical, with P&L reporting accountability spanning all four of the company\'s commercial verticals.Consecutive years of sub-3% forecast accuracy (1.08% FY2023 · 2.27% FY2024 · 2.23% FY2025). Multi-million dollar cost savings delivered through vendor overspend recovery, revenue leakage identification, and process streamlining. Protected a $7.9m strategic contract win by identifying a commercial risk that would have killed the bid.I conceived, designed, built and executed a full AI-driven redesign of a 15-year-old prebilling-to-cash process — eliminating approximately 3,200 manual data touch points per month across four departments. I also serve as Finance Manager for Speedcast\'s Malta Business Unit — the company\'s most commercially complex BU — with full P&L ownership of a maritime and leisure operation involving multi-party revenue share agreements.Earlier career: finance roles in oil & gas (Baker Hughes), subsea (Dril-Quip), and satellite communications (Harris CapRock), giving me deep energy sector fluency across 20+ years.Specialties: FP & A · Energy Vertical Finance · Customer Profitability · Forecast Accuracy · Commercial Modelling · Budget & Forecast · AI Process Transformation · Revenue Leakage · Board Reporting · M&A Due Diligence · Malta BU Finance
