Veteran Finance Leader w/ Passion for Teaching & Learning

Christopher B.

After starting my career as an Insurance Agent and then a Financial Advisor, I quickly realized that I needed to be in a position that demanded an analytical approach to things. That is when I returned to the University of Central Florida to finish my degree in Finance.

I started my path as a jr. Financial Analyst at Darden Restaurants, the parent Company of then Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Season's 52. My career eventually brought me to Amazon, where I was pushed to dive deep into the business and find creative solutions to difficult problems. As I progressed through my career it became obvious the value of connecting the operational financial data to the bigger picture business problems. The real art in being able to package and simplify in a way that is digestible to stake holders. I believe this directly translates to both a practical and theoretical approach to teaching. It would be my pleasure to work with you on your Finance and Data learning needs.
