Before joining QSA, Ashkin led financial planning and analysis at Granite Construction, a large, publicly traded infrastructure contractor and construction materials provider. In this role, he led process improvements across forecasting, budgeting, and tracking that increased the integrity of internal projections and created useful linkages between the company’s long-term and short-term plans. He drove greater financial transparency and accountability as well.
