Vice President Finance

The Vice President of Finance serves as a core member of the executive leadership team and the company’s forward-looking financial strategist for its United States business. Reporting directly to the President, this leader is responsible for anticipating the financial implications of enterprise decisions before they are made — bringing a strong, independent voice to the leadership table, looking around corners to identify emerging risks and opportunities, and influencing peer executives with rigorous, objective financial insight.

The VP of Finance directs financial strategy, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), enterprise capital allocation (including real estate and facility investments), and financial advisory support for mergers & acquisitions, while overseeing financial operations, risk management, tax compliance, and financial reporting. This executive pairs that strategic partnership with uncompromising stewardship — ensuring strict governance, financial integrity, and compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
