About Adam Sisson

Experienced financial leader with a demonstrated history of communicating complex financial ideas to multiple audiences, finding commonalities of interest in opposing viewpoints, and leading change management in non-profit and for-profit settings. Skilled in financial analysis, financial reporting, team building and securing creative borrowing solutions. I manage the various administrative teams supporting Habitat for Humanity of Greater LA's (Habitat LA) efforts to help hard working families achieve the dream of affordable home ownership. This includes securing innovative construction project financing and managing the Accounting/Finance, Human Resources, and Operations teams. I joined Habitat LA as Controller in 2014 and have over 25 years of experience in Accounting, Finance, Manufacturing, Operations, Construction, and Mergers and Acquisitions. I began my professional career in aerospace as an analyst/researcher for the Japanese space agency NASDA (now JAXA) and then marketing and selling complex components for aviation and space applications for aerospace companies. I left that industry to take night classes in Accounting at UCLA while working in public accounting until earning my CPA license. Since then I have been working as Controller and Vice President in several industries. My B.A. and M.P.A. are from Indiana University where I was also a two sport varsity athlete competing for the Track and Cross Country teams. Currently serving on three Boards for organizations that provide housing and education services to foster youth and provide affordable workers' compensation insurance and auto insurance to non-profits.
