  • Partner with delivery, development, and accounting so the forecast reflects the field, not the plan of record.

  • You've built driver-based capex models that boards made decisions on.
  • Your forecasts get scored against actuals, and the gap shrinks every quarter.
  • You go get the operational truth behind a number instead of accepting the submission.
  • You've built and led a small high-output team.
  • Bonus: Data center cost structures. Project finance interfaces. Pigment or Anaplan. Monte Carlo methods.
