Joshua Dopkowski — Chief Problem Mechanic
Josh is the guy you call when a “transformational” platform just transformed your workflow into a pile of expensive misery. Josh doesn’t show up with buzzwords, he shows up with a torque wrench for your process: map the mess, cut the drama, tighten the bolts, and make the numbers line up with reality.
His lane is where finance systems, planning, and pragmatic AI collide. He has led deployments and rescues across FP&A and Revenue Growth Management, aligned execs who don’t usually agree on anything, and rebuilt the boring-but-critical stuff—controls, forecasting cadence, and adoption—so the machine runs without heroics. Josh also teaches AI to think like a CFO, which is a polite way of saying we make models that don’t hallucinate your quarter.
Method? Process first, always. Tech follows. “Prompts-as-procedures,” documentation or it didn’t happen, and measurement that isn’t dashboard theater. With Josh driving, we'll interrogate vendors, protect your teams from scope-creep cosplay, and design workflows that survive contact with the calendar.
Previous hats: finance director, program lead, lecturer. Delivered international rollouts, classroom simulators, and enough triage calls to last a lifetime. Blue-collar composure meets boardroom fluency. No miracles promised. Results delivered.
