About Robert Tobin

As a Finance Manager at Cloudinary, I manage company-wide programs, travel, and software budgets, providing investment consulting to the Go-To-Market group. I also implemented financial management software - Planful, automating budget vs actuals, cash flow management, and revenue planning and margin forecasting. Prior to this, I served as a Court Appointed Fiduciary for my family, managing their financial affairs. I have a strong background in finance, having graduated from The University of Connecticut with a degree in Finance and MIS. I am passionate about using my skills in analytical thinking, communication, and data analysis to drive strategic business planning and financial decision-making.
