About Katie Dillow

I am motivated by creating positive change for individuals and communities. I move vision into action by translating it into financial pictures and plans that people and organizations can understand and align to. I believe businesses exist to deliver customer value and are successful when individuals and teams are aligned and motivated to deliver. My financial background combined with high emotional intelligence guarantee an approach that seeks the collective well-being of an organization’s business and people results. I love to lead cross-functional teams and nurture relationships to create organizational resiliency and sustainable growth. I am a big-picture thinker who thrives in ambiguity. I am successful by putting people at the center of every problem and every solution. Through my career I have used my highly transferable skills to create new systems, tools, roles and departments that solve business problems and create value for internal and external customers. My experiences include: Finance Leadership, Strategic Planning, Project Portfolio Management, Financial & Business Analysis, Budgeting, Project Management, Change Management, Internal Communication, Accounting, Resource Planning, Technology Implementation, Internal Controls, Risk Management, Facilitation, Coaching, Training.
