Adam Chaikin, CPA.CITP, PMP’s Summary

I am a CPA.CITP, PMP, with 16 years of experience in both finance and IT. I started my career at Deloitte & Touche LLP in New York as a staff auditor in 1993. In 1995 I moved to the Northern Virginia area to become the Northeast Regional Controller for Ogden Environmental & Engineering Services Co., Inc.
Upon exiting Ogden, I established my own consulting firm specializing in International Business. I co-founded Global Business Solution, Inc. a Nothern Virginia based firm. While working for GBS, Inc. I became International Accouting Manager for Concert. After nearly two years of supporting Concert as a client, I dissolved GBS, Inc,. and went to work for Concert full time.
When Concert was dissolved as a venture in 2002, I returned to BT with a small group of finance staff that created the basis for BT's back office operations in North America. I was named Assistant Head of Financial Control. From there I made the cross over from finance to IT. I became Head of Finance Systems and was responsible for the finance systems that made up a signifiant part of BT's operations outside of the United Kingdom.
In 2006 I took an international assignment within BT's Finance Systems Programme and was a senior member on a large systems integration project. Then, after a short time as Chief Designer for the Finance Systems area, I moved over to the HR space as Project Director.
In 2008 I returned to BT Americas Inc, held the title of Project Director. In this role I was managing two significant programmes. The first was related to BT's global sourcing efforts. The second was overseeing the implementation of CA Clarity in the Americas region.
In January 2009 I became Commercial Director for Major Contract Execution in BT Americas. I am dedicated to our largest account in the USA, a global Phrama company.
