ROB PILZ
What I do
As a performance and culture-oriented chief financial officer and advisor, I see and understand the connections that translate money and other resources into real results. Growth, IPO, or M&A, I bring impactful financial, governance and planning skills, acting as a force multiplier to increase organizational capacities and create real value. New models and technologies are disrupting markets and functions. I creatively help identify and address the root constraints and greatest points of leverage so an organization can realize its full potential. Acting as a catalyst and a reliable anchor, I help foster alignment with teammates to help people focus and evolve.
Experience
In executive positions in multiple Deloitte Fast 50™ companies, all of which are going concerns today; as part of the founding team and CFO of a TSX Venture Top 50™ Company; as an executive in a range of businesses, I've played key roles in the building of value-creating businesses. I've helped lead extraordinary teams and the transformation of challenging business environments. I now use my learnings from these experiences in creating high-performing cultures with my clients. My direct experience includes: strategic and operational planning, corporate finance (IPO (US and Canada), public and private), mergers and acquisitions, partnering, project management, human resources, accounting, and audit. In over 12 years as a CFO of private and public companies, I executed a wide range of financings with various types of investors and lenders, and negotiated deals with world-class companies. As a partner to CEOs, I've provided strategic and operational guidance in the areas of: Ai tech wellness, therapeutic drug development; medical devices, functional food and beverages, health supplements, multi-sided platforms, clean energy storage; clean waste processing; computer gaming; toys; environmental building supplies; mobile communications platform and environmentally friendly commercial cleaning solutions.
Credentials
I'm grateful to have been mentored in many best-of-breed practices by leaders in their fields. And after years of mastering old rules of business, I'm enjoying evolving them with progressive organizations who value interconnection and collaboration.
I received a Bachelor of Commerce degree in finance from the University of British Columbia, a Chartered Professional Accountant designation and am professionally trained in project management, Lean Six Sigma, HeartMath® Building Personal Resilience, the Hoffman Quadrinity (resilience) Process® and the Oliver Wight Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process.
In combining traditional business training with outside-the-box disruptive thinking, models and technologies, I help create exceptional results for all stakeholders.
Personally
My values include unconditional positive regard, discernment, curiosity and contribution. I relish learning and helping others to do so; spending time daily in nature, and a wide range of "bio-hacking" practices...mostly I enjoy seeing what happens next.
