About Tim Malenfant
Strategic finance leader with 20+ years of experience partnering with operations, commercial teams, and leadership to understand business performance and drive better decisions.My work focuses on analyzing revenue, margin, utilization, and cost structure to identify the underlying drivers of performance. I translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that support decisions around pricing, growth, resource allocation, and operational efficiency.My background spans FP & A, commercial finance, and operations analytics, with a consistent emphasis on improving visibility into how the business actually works. I build and apply analytical frameworks as needed to surface meaningful insights—but the goal is always clarity, alignment, and better decision-making.I’m most effective in environments where finance is expected to go beyond reporting—acting as a true business partner and providing clear, defensible insight that helps leadership move forward with confidence.
