About Jan Heald Robinson

Focused on financial strategies and structures to deliver revenue and funding to make companies successful. An experienced financial executive and CPA, I leverage skills in leadership, finance and operations, to work turnarounds and change management. Whether raising money, upgrading operations or implementing corporate objectives, I set the finance vision, drive the strategy to get there, hire the people and manage them as a team, and implement the changes necessary to achieve the goal.I was brought in to determine and solve why operations income was declining at GES, a $600m global trade show & expo services firm based in Las Vegas. In the process, I led GES’ 19 city finance teams to move from reporting the numbers to managing the business operation. We dramatically increased cash flow ($29m -$54m) as we re-engineered finance operations and centralized processing for visibility and performance management. This set in place the means to greater profitability. In the technology industry, at Credence Systems, Sequent, and startups including Teseda and uXcomm, I led change management and improved capacity and profitability in operations, while working with management, banks, boards and investors to accommodate debt and / or investment.Specialties: Quick study of complex issues Focused manager of multiple simultaneous financial operations Procures & manages resources to collaborate as a team Resourceful entrepreneurial orientation Debt and Equity financing Acquisitions & Divestitures Performance management International expansion Finance reporting Planning Analysis and Operations support SEC, tax and customs planning and compliance Public speaking on performance management, leadership & fundraising
