About Chris Jansen

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in different countries and cultures. When it came time to consider a course of study, my Intro to Accounting professor at Biola University said,"Accounting is the language of business - it will take you to people and places" so I completed my accounting degree and set off circumnavigating the globe by serving, studying, working, and visiting more than 60 countries so far and a long layover for almost 10 years in Switzerland.Accounting for international projects led to fundraising for them which led to implementing technology to bring together financial, programmatic, and marketing data through business intelligence. For more than 20 years I've been learning and leading with People, Processes, Technology, and Data to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and demonstrate impact between international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and their stakeholders.Here is my unique S.H.A.P.E that empowers me to add value to teams and organizations:[S]piritual gifts: Leadership, Administration, Knowledge, Service/Helps, and Hospitality[H]earts passion: I'm motivated to build bridges between problems and solutions with people, processes, data, and technology.🤓[A]bilities: StrengthsFinder® Top Five: 1.
