At CFO Selections, we may work in numbers… but we’re in the business of people. Because behind every financial report is a person making hard decisions, and behind every engagement is a human-to-human connection. In this series, we’re shining a light on those stories — introducing the consultants who guide our clients forward and the leaders who bring those numbers to life.
Public accountant. Investment banker. CFO. Former president of the largest Italian car show in the world.
If you’re a collector of Italian cars, you might recognize Tom McDowell from Concorso Italiano. But closer to home, he’s known as a connector of people.
“Have you ever heard the phrase ‘the Seattle freeze?’” Tom asks. “People who are new here have difficulty establishing relationships. It took me years before I finally felt like I was accepted.” Now, he pays it forward. “I’m sensitive to that when I meet people who are new to the community. I talk with them, get to know them a little bit, and introduce them around.”
Tom has been in Seattle for over three decades now, but his storied career stretches even longer (and farther south).
