Benjamin Heitner

I have six years of recent experience as a Senior Manager of FP&A at private equity owned firms.  The small environment and low barriers to the C-suite made the roles larger than the title.  I built a team of 7 from scratch, suffering only one natural attrition in 3 years.  I built the finance model to drive forecast, reconciliation, and cost savings initiatives for a $770M cybersecurity company, and I drove cost-benefit analysis for a national distribution center and over a dozen facilities across the two companies.  On a large scale, I have 18 years, combined, in Finance for two Fortune 10 firms in multiple roles, ranging from regional Finance controller for APJ to North America Sales Finance controller for a 300 person, $1.2B team, to team lead for financial feasibility of new services at Dell.  I specialize in adapting processes and organizations to meet the needs of its customers and business partners.  I relish the opportunity to lead cross-functional teams with a defined picture of success.  I have no fear of upward management.  I drive teams to share the load equally and succeed as one, and I love nothing more than seeing my mentees exceed their own expectations.

I have a Bachelor's and Master's in Finance from top schools, and I am sitting for the second half of the CMA on February 3rd, 2024.  In the more unofficial sense, I have the education and experience of 15+ years of finding a way in and around an ever-changing world of business.
