Background

About Mark McDonald

My objective is to advance the efficiency of finance and business operations by responsibly leveraging the benefits of modern tools and skills. Using my unique mix of professional leadership, operational finance, and advanced technology skills, I have a demonstrated ability to implement enduring change that allows teams to deliver new levels of business value with less effort. My career covers a variety of operational and leadership roles ranging from local manufacturing to global corporate strategy. Focusing on the use of technology, I have a proven track record of increasing business performance and employee job satisfaction. Combing my finance and technology experience, I currently serve as a Gartner senior director where I develop AI and data science roadmaps with clients and guide them through detailed implementation steps starting with a strategic roadmap and continuing with employee skills, technical development, and process implementation. I take pride in my ability to bring structure to complex processes and enjoy working across functions to turn impossible goals into measurable results. I have a demonstrated record of positioning the financial function as an organizational asset and a trusted partner.
