Lori Bennett Email & Phone Number

I am a financial strategist with over 20 years progressive experience in all phases of strategic planning, accounting, finance, risk management and human resources. I am a collaborative partner at all levels of an organization. My perspective extends beyond the numbers of accounting and finance to show how they add value to and cultivating a shared vision, customer relationship management, and continuous positive improvement. My core areas of expertise are process analysis and improvement, cost containment, working capital management, and capital planning. With competencies that span both strategic and tactical planning, I have been instrumental in managing cash flow, building banking and legal relationships, contract negotiations regarding insurance, auditors, and mitigating financial risk.As CFO with Driveline and using my broad business acumen, I have boosted EBITDA by reducing overhead through process improvement, identifying opportunities for cost reduction and negotiating new vendor relationships to realize those savings, and cultivating a “real-time” methodology within the Finance team to deliver meaningful operational results and metrics on a continuous basis.

Listed skills include Process Improvement, Strategic Planning, Account Management, Forecasting, and 39 others.
