About
I'm a Sr. Analyst on U.S. Soccer's financial transformation team, where I co-built the Federation's first in-house financial reporting app on Power BI and deliver financial analysis to senior leadership and the C-suite. Before that I spent nearly two years at INSIGHT2PROFIT building pricing strategies, financial impact models and Power BI dashboards for private equity portfolio companies, then led an ERP transition as a project consultant for Texx Chemical Technologies. I'm a Marquette Business Analytics & Economics grad and former NCAA Division I lacrosse player.
Transcript
Hi, I'm Max Christides. I'm a senior analyst on U.S. Soccer's financial transformation team, based in Atlanta. I studied business analytics and economics at Marquette, and I played Division One lacrosse there at the same time. My summer internship was at Wells Fargo Advisors, where I made guides on Salesforce and Tableau for division leaders and executives. At INSIGHT2PROFIT I built pricing models for private equity portfolio companies, and I was one of two from my class of fifteen promoted to associate. Then I joined Texx Chemical Technologies as a project consultant and led their move from QuickBooks Online to NetSuite. At U.S. Soccer I co-built the Federation's first in-house financial reporting app in Power BI, and now over eighty people use it. These days I'm focused on moving our reporting to near-live data on Fabric and building an AI assistant for the finance team.
