Background

About Scott Athey

As an Executive Financial Leader, I have built a career at the intersection of strategy, transformation, and performance. My experience spans guiding global organizations through periods of rapid change, simplifying complexity, and shaping finance functions into engines of clarity and impact. I am recognized for my ability to unify diverse teams, break down silos, and ensure finance does more than report numbers but also drives the strategic agenda, influences growth, and anchors stability in uncertain environments. I am committed to developing strong leaders and resilient teams, improving cultures where collaboration, transparency, and accountability aren’t just ideal, but daily practice. By partnering with senior leadership, I focus on translating strategy into action, instilling financial discipline without stifling innovation, and building governance structures that enable organizations to move faster with confidence. Additionally, I believe finance is both a compass and a catalyst, helping enterprises not only stay on course but also seize opportunities to transform and lead in an ever-changing marketplace. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS: Directed financial strategy and operations across $12B–$17B in expenses and 115K+ resources, unifying finance, technology, and operations into a high-performing global organization. Strengthened enterprise decision-making by delivering transparent, data-driven analytics that accelerated planning cycles and improved resource allocation across multibillion-dollar portfolios. Built and led global finance teams of 80+, standardizing financial reporting across multiple divisions, reducing expenses by $200M, and building a collaborative “one-team” culture that enhanced executive confidence scott.athey@yahoo.com 609-560-8113
