A "team-oriented, results-driven family man" is how colleagues, friends, and family describe Mark Julien. The CFO at Kronos credits his success to his early days at the University of Notre Dame and in public accounting.
As a dedicated student at Notre Dame, Julien was drawn to finance. With encouragement from family and the belief that understanding an organization's financials is the key to success, he started his career path.
As a young entrepreneurial spirit, Julien began his career as a certified public accountant (CPA) at Ernst & Young. His time at the organization proved invaluable. He not only learned the practical applications of accounting in a business environment but also discovered his passion for technology. The excitement of working in an innovative environment and creating products that impact society fueled Julien's interest in technology organizations.
Julien merged the best of both worlds in 1995 when he joined Kronos. At Kronos, he applies his financial expertise at an innovative technology organization. His passion for results helped propelled Kronos to new levels of financial success, unmatched by any other technology organization. His significant impact on Kronos' financial success has allowed him to work his way up through the organization to his current role on the executive leadership team.
Most recently, Julien served as vice president of finance at Kronos where he managed a financial organization that encompasses worldwide tax, treasury, accounting, payroll, and credit and collection functions. Under his direction, the finance organization was tasked with Kronos' development and maintenance of corporate policies to ensure compliance with internal control standards, internal and SEC financial reporting, corporate budgeting and analysis, revenue recognition analysis and support, design and administration of field sales and service compensation plans, as well as financial analysis for acquisitions.
In May 2006, Julien assumed all responsibilities of chief financial officer. As CFO, Julien leads under the driving values of integrity, honesty, and fairness. He prides himself on creating a workplace that balances risk with responsibility.
In addition to his bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Notre Dame, Julien has participated in a series of executive education programs, including the AEA/Stanford Executive Institute at Stanford University. When he is not cheering for his beloved Fighting Irish or the Boston Red Sox, he can be found spending time with his family. |
