"I have had the great pleasure of working alongside Guy at two of our startups. His talents extend far beyond simply managing company finances and closing the books. As a trusted member of our leadership team, I entrusted him, first and foremost, with managing our financial model and scenario analysis that we relied on to run the company. In addition, he worked directly with our COO to manage numerous other activities including forecasting, budget analysis, contractors, data room (when in M&A process), payroll, HR functions, etc. He is a great collaborator across departments (engineering, product management, support, contractor, HR, etc.). Guy brings credibility, honesty, a great work ethic and integrity to any company, I would strongly recommend him for a similar role."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Guy at my last two startup companies which has spanned the past 8 years. In both companies, Guy was instrumental in establishing our finance best practices and building our finance organization. I consider Guy a friend and collaborator whose financial acumen, attention to detail, problem solving skills and positive attitude have established him as an integral part of our past and future success. We are truly fortunate to have Guy as part of our team."
