Chris Bates Email & Phone Number | CURRENTLY... Head of FP&A at Kinetic Technologies, a private power and protection IC semiconductor company in Silicon Valley. Directly reporting to the CFO and dotted line to the CRO, I am responsible for all things FP&A: AOP, quarterly budget updates, budget vs actuals reporting, revenue analysis, expense tracking and analyzing, financial modeling, presenting to and collaborating with senior executives, and general improvement of processes and reporting. MOST RECENTLY… I built a multinational finance organization (42+) based in Singapore for a leading global computer vision company using AI to transform brick-and-mortar retail. As the VP Finance, I was responsible for developing the global team and led all finance functions including FP&A, accounting operations, audit, compliance, acquisition due diligence and integration (we did 5 acquisitions!), cash management, and tax. I also drove the completion of a finance transformation that wound down the Singapore finance HQ and brought up a completely new team in Denver in under 6 months. PRIOR TO THIS ROLE… I ran the Sales team and led a mobile component Product Line at a leading LED company, and grew that business to become worldwide market share leader. Based in Shenzhen, China, and San Jose, CA, I drove sales, focusing on the development of customer and distributor relationships, defined product roadmaps, positioned product portfolios, and negotiated pricing contracts with an eye on impact to the P&L. Prior to that role, I held finance positions with increasing responsibility; going from financial analyst to director of finance before transitioning to product and sales functions. GOING FORWARD… I am looking for a Finance Leadership role that ties together my expertise in Operations, Finance, Sales, and Product Management to help a company grow both organically and through M&A where I can contribute significantly and have a lasting impact on its future. Areas of Expertise: - International Group Finance Leader - Strategic Functional Alignment - Global Sales Management - Product Management - Product Marketing - Business Development - Business Planning - Acquisition Due Diligence and Integration - Contract Negotiation - Competitive Analysis - Demand Forecasting - Budgeting - Pricing - P&L Responsibility - Cross-Cultural Communication - Cross-Functional Collaboration - International Experience with a Focus on Asia
