About John Flatekval

As a global business manager with an ability to execute effectively and quickly, I am known for bringing a sense of calm leadership into chaotic situations. I deliver on objectives by making strategic decisions and holding myself and my team accountable. I am also known for promoting from within, leveraging a player-coach leadership style. I have a passion for building teams of financial professionals. I see potential in every team member and have elevated multiple financial professionals throughout my career. I am at my best when watching junior staff thrive and grow in their own careers. I coach individuals to be assertive, transparent, and act with alacrity and precision. This has allowed me to create structure in ambiguity. A Few Examples of My Leadership: Standardized $6B in financial reporting function by developing business intelligence tools to drive automation Transformed financial management and reporting for $2B of expenses by introducing sub-ledger reporting function to track operations teams and performance Created $300M productivity roadmap to guide Technology and Operations portfolio prioritization, workforce and location strategy, technology infrastructure, and vendor productivity Specialties: • Building Global Teams • Financial Reporting • Process Development & Improvement
