I am the co-founder and CEO of BodeTree.com, a web app that automates the finance and accounting processes for small businesses and startups. As a first-time CEO, I’m learning as I go about the nuances of managing people, products, and processes. Prior to founding BodeTree, I played a key role on the strategy team of a Fortune 500 company and provided valuation and financial opinions as a consultant. I graduated from Arizona State University with an undergraduate degree in finance and studied economics at Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. In addition to writing for Forbes, I’m a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, and MSNBC.
