About Beth Gray
Versatile finance and organizational leader with deep experience in start-ups, SMBs and Fortune 500 companies in the following industries: healthcare, digital media, SaaS, E-commerce, consumer products and investment management. Looking to join the next great organization that wants to change the world in a positive way.What I have learned from my last 31 years, how to- Drive organizational effectiveness with better solutions and tools - never be satisfied with status quo. Automate as much as possible- Leverage strategic planning and deliver key results efficiently. An OKR is not the same as a KPI- Manage Board of Directors, C level executives and investor relations- Drive cross functional team alignment and results - Collaborate to understand the resource challenges across the entire organization. Agree on the highest priorities and positive outcomes- Communicate well - I have been a manager, mentor, counselor and cheerleader. Great communication begins with being a good listener- Leading finance and accounting, HR, facilities and legal functions- Fundraising - private equity/debt/venture capital - investor pitches, refi of ABLs, securing LOCs- M&A preparation and execution - Contract negotiations - My favorite class at Haas - how to get to YES that matters for both sides.Passionate About- Sustainability and climate change, working for organizations that are making a difference in the world- Supporting the arts and community based organizations - see my volunteer work.Personal interests- Sports, sports and more sports. Tennis and cycling are my personal interests but anyone who knows me knows that I love all competitive sports. As a rower at Dartmouth, the biggest lesson that I learned was that we must row together with a focus on the same goal to be successful and every individual matters for the team to succeed- Travel feeds my soul. With six continents down, I continue to love experiencing new cultures, people and environments.
