David Baker, C.P.A., Mba Email & Phone Number

Whether I am serving as a chief financial officer or business advisor, my commitment is to serve as a business partner and provide astute counsel and leadership that contribute to profitable growth and return on investment. My progressive financial and operational leadership expertise was acquired from public, private and private equity entities in various industries including infrastructure, beverage and power transmission. My areas of expertise include financial reporting, treasury, banking, pension investment and administration, IT, cost accounting, internal control, compliance and M&A. This broad based background positions me to recommend strategies and best practices while leading initiatives that deliver optimal results. In my role as a business partner, I contribute by quickly assessing complex business challenges and creating optimal solutions by leading a “best alternatives to a negotiated agreement” process. By working with people on an ongoing basis, I help them understand complex financial information and how they can impact not only their departments’ goals but overall organizational outcomes. As a business-friendly CFO, I welcome open discussion and diverse opinions that builds a cohesive cross-functional network of influence. Based on rich dialogue and use of a pragmatic business decision making style, I lead the development of workable solutions while creating an environment of trust, ownership and accountability.From my hands-on experience in supply chain, operations, customer negotiations and price and margin management, I fully comprehend the overall complexities of business management. Therefore, I can serve in the role as the president in his/her absence and as well as a trusted business adviser to other functional leaders.
