Dennis Scheffer
@dennisscheffer
Strategic finance leader driving operational clarity, budget stewardship, and AI-enabled process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic financial leader with over nine years of experience at a national laboratory, managing multimillion-dollar federal and institutional budgets and driving operational improvements. I combine tactical execution with visionary leadership, having led cross-functional teams and founded an OCFO AI Working Group.
At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory I supported multiple directorates as a resource analyst, delivered complex budgetary analysis for ~$60M portfolios, and partnered with developers to implement enterprise-wide financial systems and automation. I improved reporting processes through data analytics and stakeholder collaboration, streamlining monthly reporting and reducing manual work.
I hold an MBA and seek Director-level or Principal Analyst roles where I can apply my expertise in finance, operations, and strategic programs to enable scalable growth, operational clarity, and strong people leadership.
