About Marc Franklin

I am a bilingual (English/French) finance leader who excels at tackling challenges head on with an analytical and innovative approach. With 20 years of progressive experience in financial leadership roles, I have a proven track record of enhancing operations and elevating bottom-line performance for some of Canada’s largest corporations. My expertise in strategic thinking, business acumen, and financial leadership has enabled me to achieve ambitious financial goals and business objectives throughout my career. As a Decision Support Specialist at Farm Credit Canada (FCC), I leverage my keen insights and ability to identify emerging trends to shape organizational strategy and enable informed decision-making. Before joining FCC, I advanced through a series of progressive positions at SaskTel where I was responsible for managing departments accountable for Finance Client Relationships, Revenue Assurance, and Revenue Accounting. Through these roles, I gained unique insights into business operations, executive decision-making, strategic planning, and regulatory issues. During my nearly two-decade career at SaskTel, I had the privilege of achieving some of my most notable professional accomplishments, including: Streamlining annual profitability reporting processes, reducing cycle time by 33% Developing a culture to attract top-tier talent with a remarkable 100% promotion rate to management Achieving up to 9% YOY growth during unprecedented business challenges and economic turmoil Spearheading an initiative that prevented $1M in annual revenue loss and doubled bottom-line results These achievements were the result of my unwavering commitment to continuous improvement, innovative thinking, and strong leadership skills. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and staying active through officiating basketball and improving my golf game. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in business and finance and enjoy meeting new people with new insights and perspectives.
