At Thermo Fisher Scientific, our Mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. That mission is brought to life every day by more than 125,000 engaged colleagues around the world. As Chief Financial Officer, I partner with our leadership team to consistently deliver value for all stakeholders — customers, colleagues, communities, and shareholders. I’m privileged to lead an exceptional global team across finance, accounting, tax, and treasury that supports execution of our growth strategy, enables customer success, and drives strong long-term returns. As the world leader in serving science, our scale is a powerful competitive advantage.

In a dynamic global macro environment, the work is challenging — and I’m never bored.
