About Brandon Ellis
With over a decade of leadership experience in financial planning and analysis with top brands in the consumer health care, medical devices, intercollegiate athletics, and sports media sectors, I am well versed in leading teams to drive financial performance through cultivating and fostering strong relationships across departments. I have extensive knowledge in both thought and practice related to strategic long range financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, new business case financial modeling, and close accounting practices. I am constantly looking to push the pace, accelerating growth while instilling operational discipline always keeping people, innovation, and simplification at the center. In 2023 for my work at the Big Ten Network I was recognized by Crain’s Chicago as a 40U40 award recipient.
