Eugene “Gene” Hill is a seasoned executive and former global CFO with a career shaped by real pressure: capital raises, acquisitions, restructurings, and operating decisions made when the numbers really mattered. I worked across institutions and companies, including JPMorgan Chase through Manufacturers Hanover Bank, a Bain Capital portfolio company, Cisco Systems, and multiple technology-driven businesses. Over that span, he led or supported more than $1 billion in capital raises and transactions across M&A, IPOs, leveraged buyouts, mezzanine debt, and working-capital facilities. The constant theme has been the same: capital is not a toy. It is a survival tool, especially when markets tighten. Hill built GRITeconomy for founders and owners in the Silicon Slopes and mid-mountain west because he believes the years ahead will be more volatile, not less. Website: www.griteconomy.com
