About Scott Beamer
TWO-TIME PUBLIC COMPANY CFO GROWING AND SCALING COMPANIES (EV +$5B IN 9 YEARS) . As a CFO of industrial manufacturing companies with up to $2 billion in revenue, I am passionate about driving results and building winning teams. With more than 12 years of CFO experience, I’ve had significant success in growing enterprise value by identifying and galvanizing action across the key levers for the business. At CMC Materials, revenue growth was the fundamental opportunity, and we acquired KMG, in addition to driving organic growth at +10% CAGR. At Stepan Company, we expanded margins in the context of flat revenue by driving efficiency and reducing costs. This was enabled by creating an FP&A function that could provide insights to guide targeted price and cost actions at the SKU level. While strong business performance is critical to enterprise value, I recognize that credible messaging, analyst coverage, and investor relationships also impact a company’s stock price. I oversaw IR at CMC Materials and Stepan Company and cultivated critical connections with buyside and sellside analysts that broadened the investor base and expanded sellside coverage. I know that the amazing finance teams that I have built are the key to all the success I have achieved. I am known for fostering talent and creating a culture of empowerment that unleashes people to be their best.
