Skip has consulted for Adaptive Path for more than a year and in that time has wrought important changes for the firm’s financial well-being while bringing in the all-important perspective of the CFO to the management team. Skip brings a wealth of experience and energy to any problem plus, as an added bonus, a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Skip as your partner in all things financial.
