Kristen Steele

I’m a finance leader with 20+ years of experience at a Fortune 500 entertainment company, where I currently serve as a Finance Manager leading a team that supports operations strategy and decision-making. My work centers on connecting financial insights with real-world operations — helping leaders plan, prioritize, and make thoughtful investments. Key highlights of my experience include leading capital strategy planning for new hotels, food & beverage, and retail projects, training both operations and finance teams to strengthen financial understanding, and driving process improvements that improve clarity, storytelling, and decision quality. I enjoy translating complex information into practical direction that helps teams move forward confidently. I’m now looking for a remote role where I can bring my operations finance experience to organizations connected to travel, the outdoors, or nature-based experiences — especially companies with strong mission-driven values and a focus on meaningful impact.
