About Michael Buttitta
Strategic Finance Manager at GitHub with a dual degree—BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School and a BA in Computer Science. I bring a strong track record of enabling data-driven decision-making, optimizing financial performance, and influencing strategic direction in dynamic, innovation-led environments. Proficient in SQL, KQL, and data visualization, I distill complex datasets into clear insights that guide operational and executive actions. At GitHub, I collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to optimize business models, resource planning and GTM strategy through advanced modeling and scenario analysis. Previously at Microsoft, I am an alumni of the Finance Rotation Program where I also had a 6 month international experience in Prague, CZ. I’m energized by working with talented teams to solve complex problems and turn insights into lasting impact.
