GFN’s Chief Financial Officer Beth Saks stepped down in March 2024, after
more than 16 remarkable years in her role. Beth joined GFN in its earliest
years and helped usher the organization through a stage of steady financial
growth and exemplary financial management. Beth’s support for the
organization was unwavering and her contributions extraordinary. With her
steadfast dedication, insightful leadership, and level-headed approach, Beth
not only ensured our financial stability, but also touched the lives of many
within and beyond our organization. Beth’s contributions were pivotal to
shaping GFN into the force for good it is today, and we are extraordinarily
grateful to her.
In April 2024, GFN welcomed Vanessa Gutierrez, as the organization’s
new Chief Financial Officer. Vanessa will carry forward the responsibility
of guiding the organization’s financial strategy, bolstering operational
efficiencies, and providing strategic guidance as we move forward.
