    Tom Dillon spent nearly a decade analyzing stocks and investments at William Blair all while obtaining the Chartered Financial Analyst, CFA, designation. During this time period, he was responsible for interviewing 100s of CEOs & CFOs, as well as building the financial models of various publicly traded companies. Tom left his stock analyst days to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. Tom looked in the mirror and knew he needed operation experience in order to make these dreams a reality. So he decided to join a turnaround story, ice.com, as their CFO and then promoted to CEO/CFO. Ice.com was a $10MM in revenue jewelry eCommerce website. After leaving, he began his entrepreneurial journey. A three time founder and CEO, he previously led successful startup Zebra Cares, a propTech company in the real-estate space, where he remains on the board of directors. Zebra Cares can be thought of as RedFin meets Uber - connecting leads to live-in leasing agents - providing technology to streamline the renting experience. Tom received his MBA from Kellogg while founding Zebra Cares and designing the financial model for Fixer, a project of Mike Evans, co-founder of GrubHub. Mike went on to raise $4MM, an amount determined by Tom's financial modeling. Fixer's business model is most comparable to TaskRabbit but strictly for handyman services, ultimately providing transparency to pricing and ease of ordering. Today, Tom spends his time working as a fractional CFO helping drive top and bottom line performance, and for certain clients working as a fractional CTO (built an agency & software company, Jetson, servicing specific industries). Tom is a been there, done that type of person and takes a holistic view of the business functions. Free time: plays a lot of golf and snowboards. CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Grew revenues to $550,000 in my first venture. * Hired and managed an international agile technology team while finding product market fit. * Top stock pick in 2013 and 2014, which were up 96% and 53%, respectively. * Developed proprietary database used as basis for entire sector upgrade and downgrade call which yielded +20% (and in one circumstance 40%) in a single day. SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS * Self-motivated professional who thrives in high-pressure environments. Successful at managing multiple projects while meeting tight deadlines and a true team member.
