About Gregory

Gregory Brickner is a CFO that is passionate about cash flow. He is known for a unique perspective to problem-solving augmented by strong technical skills, to bring growth to a variety of businesses within the healthcare, technology, and manufacturing sectors.

His work experience focuses on figuring out complicated performance issues for organizations challenged to find a higher tier of growth. As a CFO, Gregory believes in the necessity and growth of free cash flow above all else. Most often, this work has been for firms on Main Street and in business units within big corporations. Both can have similar resource constraints and market issues. Regardless of the organization, every day he pushes to get things done FAST, and when you need six signatures to buy coffee, he will go nuts.

Gregory lives with his wife and children in eastern South Dakota.
