Michael Gibbons
Investor
I am a thirty-year finance professional with a rich and diverse background spanning both the public and private sectors across multiple industries. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of gaining unique insights from various viewpoints, which has significantly shaped my ability to contribute effectively to the financial and operational success of organizations.
For over half of my career, I held the esteemed position of Chief Financial and Operating Officer at a multi-billion-dollar private equity firm. In this role, I had ultimate responsibility for steering the success of several critical business functions, including accounting and reporting, information technology, human resources, legal, and compliance. My role extended beyond traditional financial oversight, as I also advised portfolio company management from my seat on each company’s Board of Directors. This distinctive perspective allowed me to swiftly and efficiently assess how to optimize a company’s resources and guide the direction of both the firm and its personnel.
