Jonathan G. is a CFO at Elite Business Ventures / PosterElite at Elite Business Ventures Inc. Colleagues describe him as "A CRO's partner in crime is their CFO. And Jonathan made an outstanding partner during his time at Osano. Jonathan's unique ability to balance his financial mindset with operational action has been critical to our success. His willingness to challenge assumptions, provide alternative perspectives, and most importantly, turn ideas into actions that go well beyond financial models made him an integral part of our growth. Jonathan is a truly talented individual who knows how to make a finance and GTM partnership productive and fun. I would happily build with him again in the future.", "I met Jonathan through the First Round Network mentorship program back in January 2021. I was looking for someone with deep financial knowledge but also had a breadth of experience across multiple startups to round out my existing knowledge. It wasn't until later that I realized I had really lucked out. Jonathan always had incredibly insightful responses to a range of tactical and strategic questions. In fact, he is still my go-to for any sort of one-off question. His responses have an almost surgical-like quality--incisive, efficient, logical, and correct. He doesn't waste any time and gets right to the point--exactly the type of person you want running any sort of finance or operations department. He also understands the big picture and the nuances that happen behind the scenes. I've found him to be incredibly bright, professional, down to earth, and in general just has a great sense of humor.", and "Life at a startup means wearing many hats, and Jonathan is someone who you can trust to wear all of his hats well. He was my finance and HR partner in security and growing our engineering teams, as well as my direct partner in developing our data team. Together we conceived the foundational layout for the team, and the directions that we'd grow it to support the needs of all departments. This is already a significant amount of work, and Jonathan did all of this while still handling the rest of his responsibilities.
I also especially appreciated the experience, direction and energy that Jonathan brought to strategic discussions. Jonathan is one of those individuals who pushes things forward and ensures progress is being made, all while cultivating a compassionate, collaborative environment.
I'd absolutely work with Jonathan again, and hope to see him in the future."
