Brian Gantt Email & Phone Number

I currently serve as the Finance Director for Information Technology Services (ITS) at George Mason University. As the Chief Business Officer, I provide operational visibility (where are we spending?), and contribute to superior decision making (where do we need to spend?) for a dynamic IT organization. I am a joint degree program graduate of Clemson University and the University of South Carolina with a Master of Public Administration (MPA ’09). I am a critical and systematic thinker who enjoys solving problems.I have experience in corporate and academic sectors, and am highly effective at building relationships with senior management and key stakeholders. Accuracy is important; I am a stickler for quality and systems to ensure quality. I have extremely high expectations for myself and those around me. I set high but reachable goals, and though I expect hard work and strong outcomes; I strongly believe in a work-life balance for my team.Specialties: Higher Education Finance- Financial Analysis, Budget Management, Strategic Planning & Execution, Contract ManagementInformation Technology - IT Service Management, Project Management, Cross-Functional Team Leadership, Change Management, Agile Technologies
