About You
You've had a long, successful career in accounting and finance. The high degree of accuracy, efficiency, and dedication you brought to your craft was helpful, especially in the beginning, but it was your ability to partner with other leaders to innovate and collaborate cross-functionally that gave you opportunities to differentiate yourself. People noticed your leadership and ability to use financial data and metrics to unlock insights that created a more complete picture.
Your coworkers seek your counsel to help them think through tough problems or take advantage of opportunities. Now you proactively engage as a strategic business partner to help your fellow leaders develop and execute strategic initiatives. Driving a business partnership model was a great application of your strategic mindset and allowed the organization to get more traction on its priorities.
In addition to your strategic mindset, you thrive in dynamic environments where you develop high performing teams and help them adapt quickly to changing circumstances. You're resilient and resourceful, so you're a natural at innovation and business transformation work. Big changes don't scare you, but stagnation sure does!
