About Joann Blackburn

I am an experienced finance professional who is motivated by results and driven by the authority to drive change to fruition of objectives. I appreciate experiences that allow me the autonomy to effectively implement cost control best practices, review KPI metrics, performance strategies, and deliver quality results while providing sound direction! The most appealing opportunities to me are ones in which I own and manage my area. With my well rounded business acumen having the opportunity to input into the strategic plan the measures that I have found successful vs failures as well as fully identify the scope, risks, and economic factors that could derail the best laid plans. I feel I offer an objective point of view and appreciate working with teams and independently. I own and am accountable for results and feel I stand strong behind my decisions. I can quickly balance hard decisions that need immediate action as well as the empathy to understand the human aspects that can get lost in translation of a mission. I feel that I would be an asset to any business who wants fair and honest reporting, someone who can speak their mind, and the ability to influence others. Thank you for reading my "About" section, I appreciate your time!
