Divisional CFO · Granite Materials

Passed

More controllership than strategic FP&A; lateral / over-scoped for this brief. Held in the pool for future searches.

Client-ready candidate card

Priya Raman

VP Finance · Atlas Industrial (PE-backed, ~$300M)

A sitting VP of Finance who has already done the exact job Northwind is hiring for — FP&A, the monthly close, and board-grade reporting at a PE-backed industrial of comparable scale. Steps in without a learning curve on the manufacturing cost model.

FP&A leadership at $250M+ industrial	Direct match
Public / PE-grade close + reporting	Strong
ERP (SAP/Oracle) + cost accounting	Yes
M&A integration (nice-to-have)	Partial

Considerations: a lateral VP→VP move — the draw has to be scope + trajectory, not title.
