"I had the distinct privilege of working alongside Hal Beckham, whose financial and operational leadership has been transformative in every role he has undertaken. As the CFO of Medtronic Labs, Hal was an instrumental partner for me in building the organization from the ground up in the early days as we were transitioning from a project team to a stand-alone entity. His strategic foresight and operational expertise helped us successfully spin-off a new entity from the parent company and set-up operations in multiple countries across Africa and Asia. He has an acute eye for detail and balances that adeptly with the bigger picture while maintaining the ability to adapt to each unique situation.

Before his role at Medtronic Labs, Hal served as the CFO of Medtronic’s Spine business, one of the company’s largest and most complex divisions with billions in annual revenues. Hal’s unique combination of experience—balancing the demands of an established global business with the agility required to build a start-up in across multiple low and middle income countries—makes him exceptionally well-suited for his new venture as an independent consultant. Whether navigating complex financial landscapes, advising on growth strategies, or building sustainable business models, Hal brings unparalleled expertise and a collaborative leadership style that inspires trust and delivers results.

I wholeheartedly recommend Hal to any organization seeking a seasoned financial and operational strategist and trusted advisor."
