Bio
Chris Augur
Evan came in to Zivelo at a time when the Controller role had fallen behind the needs of the business as the company was growing so rapidly. I was shocked at how fast he began fixing issues and cleaning things up...things that had challenged us for some time. What I mean is he impressed me on his FIRST DAY, FIRST WEEK, FIRST MONTH, and EVERY MONTH thereafter. Not only are his controller capabilities exceptional, but he was also able to develop positive and constructive relationships with all of the departmental VP's. Many of the changes he needed to implement required to cooperation of the operating departments, and because of his skill and personality, everyone pulled in the same direction and he was able to get our accounting quality of elevated to a very high standard. Even our external auditors praised the quality of our systems and accounting protocols, most of which Evan had implemented. Beyond this, people actually enjoy working with him which perhaps is a rarity for someone in the Controller's position. He--and the quality of the substance of his wok--helped us sail smoothly through the due diligence process by the acquirer of Zivelo (Verifone) and their auditors. Well done Evan.
