As Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, I strive to enhance and protect shareholder value. I’m responsible for overseeing Celestica’s accounting, financial and investor relations functions. I am also Executive Vice President, Finance, responsible for all aspects of our global financial operations, segment financial reporting, strategic pricing and tax matters. Since September 2002, I’ve also held the role of Corporate Treasurer, with responsibility for all corporate finance and treasury-related matters.
I lead a world-class finance team who are focused on ensuring transparency in financial reporting and in providing our customer teams with real-time, accurate financial information to assist them in achieving Celestica’s financial objectives. Prior to my current role, I was the Vice President, Global Financial Operations, and prior to that, held the role of Senior Vice President, Finance, responsible for all financial aspects of Celestica’s Canadian and Latin American operations. I was also previously the Controller of Celestica’s Canadian EMS operations. I joined IBM in 1989, and, throughout my career have held a number of senior financial roles in mergers and acquisitions, planning, accounting, pricing and financial strategies.
I spend as much personal time as I can with my family and friends. I also get a tremendous amount of satisfaction and inspiration from the time I spend supporting local charities and pursuing my endurance sport objectives.
