Shaun McDermott joined Cornerstone in July 2006, drawn to the company's strong suite of products and its forward-looking model of hosted travel applications. Recognizing that financial discipline is integral to building a strong, growth-oriented business, Shaun's mission is to keep a close watch over the financial operations that affect Cornerstone's bottom line. Though a relative newcomer to the travel industry, Shaun has spent more than 18 years in corporate finance, marketing and financial analysis, budgeting and control, and software contracts and licensing. Previously, Shaun served as CFO of Mad Doc Software in Andover, Massachusetts, helping the startup grow from 16 to 135 employees. He also served as budget and financial analyst for the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and was a financial analyst and corporate strategic planner for Duke Energy. Shaun holds a B.A. in economics and philosophy from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an M.A. in policy and management from Carnegie Mellon University. In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis and is an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist. |
