SKILLS
ABOUT HAYDN GRIFFITH
I have been advising & supporting organizations and leaders on matters of finance since 2009, from startup to established business, for-profit and non-profit, formally and informally. Each engagement begins the same way - with a conversation. It is critical to take the time to first understand the business of the organization and the biggest needs of the leadership (those communicated and also those that may not be readily apparent). Then, we can figure out how Finance can help the organization to bridge these gaps. I balance my time between my profession, mentoring and contributing to a more just & equitable society. Feel free to reach out to chat about your organization\'s finance needs, whether for an internal role or an external consultation.Industry Experience: Seasoned FP & A Professional with 23+ years of combined experience across the following sectors- non-profit (13 yrs)- technology/software as a service (SaaS) & media/entertainment (7 yrs)- staffing & HR services (2 yrs)- advertising (1 yr)- retail (<1 yr)providing guidance across multiple levels of an organization.
