Money makes the world go ’round, so the old adage would have us believe. It’s definitely a useful way for technical and creative people like us to keep score, and has other uses like enabling everyone to pay their mortgages, put food on the table, and buy the occasional box-set. Some of us working in our New York office can get pretty amazing pizza, too.
However, putting pizza levity aside for a second, our company has grown every year for over a decade without outside finance. It’s put us in a strong financial position, both as an employer, and as a partner to clients, and is something we’re very proud of. To make sure we remain strong, and to help guide us through the changes to come, we’re happy to announce that Jim Wright has joined the family as Vice President of Finance. Jim is an outstanding strategist and critic. Most recently he was the Chief Financial Officer for a $750M company, and previously spent over fifteen years as a management consultant. Jim spent five of those years with a “Big 4” firm, and spent the other ten as a founding partner in a consultancy firm that advised Fortune 500 companies on process improvement and broad financial matters. He has also worked with several private equity partners where he played a key role in setting financial structure and raising financing. Many would say Jim’s a financial guru. We think so too, and we’re delighted to have him with us; welcome aboard, Jim!
