Jill brings approximately 30 years of in-depth financial and federal contracts experience to Redhorse, with 15 years specifically in support of the Department of Defense. She most recently served as the chief financial officer with Brillient Corporation, continuing her experience as an accomplished CFO. “I began my career modestly as a staff accountant and diligently worked my way up through the various careers to senior leadership roles within the government contracting industry. This first-hand experience provides me with an understanding of the challenges and responsibilities companies are faced with in order to successfully provide leadership and insight for a sound financial direction and the foundation needed for growth,” McFarlane stated.

Prior to Brillient Corporation, she held the position of Sr. VP and CFO of Technical and Project Engineering LLC where she focused on program management, analysis and support as well as acquisition support and management programs, most predominately for the Department of the Army.
