Mark Risch Email & Phone Number

A Chief Financial Officer, I am driven by the question, "What can we do better?" With a big-picture view combined with an ability to prioritize business initiatives, I adeptly craft strategic roadmaps that identify where a company is headed, at what cost, and where to make investments. Armed with astute business acumen, resiliency, a strong work ethic, and a clear vision to exceed financial goals, I know how to make companies profitable. Celebrated for solution-focused growth strategies, I commandeered multiple international business expansion projects, consolidated financials, sourced $1.5M of savings, facilitated transitions from manual accounting systems to cloud-based paperless systems, and conducted profitability analyses of business financials and projects to outline new business models. I am also proficient in current and emerging coding, software, and automation techniques.Grounded by a foundation of both long-term and interim leadership experience in multiple industries, from Fortune 500 companies, insurance, and healthcare, to international business, technology, and manufacturing, my forward-thinking technical and strategic orientation allowed me to methodically transform companies by cultivating strategic partnerships, implementing entrepreneurial ideas, and providing straightforward direction. My leadership philosophy is rooted in fostering and guiding a positive and productive culture with goals to increase engagement and productivity to boost the bottom-line.
