Chris Canavan is a Chief Financial Officer at El Dorado Holdings Inc. They possess expertise in variance analysis, forecasting, financial modeling, financial reporting, budgets and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "I had the pleasure of working with Chris Canavan at Xerox and CampusLogic over the course of 8 years. Chris was the finance manager for our division at Xerox. Chris did a great job of forecasting, budget management, financial analysis, managing his team of analysts, making executive level decisions, and changing the business culture to winning mentality. While at Xerox, my job was to put together solutions for proposals and work to get them priced competitively. Prior to Chris, we had inconsistent pricing, inefficient financial processes, and we had not signed a new client for years. The industry that we were in was in decline. After Chris came in and changed the culture, we won 6 out of 8 of the proposals that we responded to. He built an efficient process rooted in ethical and analytical checks and balances. In a declining industry, Chris' analytics and advice were the key for moving our business unit from the red into profitability. The best recommendation that I can give for Chris is that he would be one of my first hires if I started a business and that I miss working with him. His knowledge and passion for finance will make him a great CFO one day.", "Chris is not only a great manager but is one of those unique people who easily navigates into being a great mentor. He leads by example while also valuing and empowering people around him. He does all of this while also maintaining the highest of expectations and delivering results. His analytical skillset, ethics and drive are of the highest degree. He would have a tremendous value to any organization just based on his personal impact but I think that grows exponentially when you consider his impact on others. I would consider myself lucky to be involved in any organization, in any capacity, that has the good fortune of having Chris as a member.", and "Chris has a clear mastery of his profession. On a daily basis he seems to manage his onerous responsibilities with calm, calculated ease. Chris is very communicative and able to explain complex financial management issues to non-finance professionals. He has taken his team, worked through a restructure / centralisation, and got a smooth running operation in place. I'm sure Chris will continue to be a great asset to Primera for many years to come."
