Jim Christiansen

As President and Chief Financial Officer of Centrinex, Jim Christiansen certainly has his hands full. He oversees the company’s operations, working in all aspects from human resources and training to quality assurance and information technology. His responsibilities include hiring, firing, benefits, training new employees, conducting QA audits for correct processes and procedures on a monthly basis, coaching, strategic planning and more. And, that’s just in his presidential role.

Under the CFO umbrella, he is responsible for all the finance, accounting, payroll and receivables for the company. Plus, he takes care of the forecasting and cash flow to ensure there’s money to expand and to keep Centrinex aligned with its projections.

Christiansen worked in accounting and finance for the telecom business for most of his career, including 25 years with telecom giant Sprint Nextel. He learned a lot in the large corporate space, moving around to different groups, experiencing different corporate cultures, and dealing with growth, decline, spinoffs and ever-changing technology. It’s this vast experience that prepared him for these dual roles at Centrinex.
