Bio
Stephen Sullivan
As the finance Director responsible for supporting my business, David developed into a true business partner. He marries his superior fiance skills with an in depth understanding of the business he supports. This understanding includes all aspects of operations, pricing, cost modeling, market dynamics and competition. David is particularly strong working process improvement initiatives that result in cost efficiencies and/or process enhancements. While we worked together, our business grew by 40% over 5 years and profits improved by 11% during that same period.
