I am a CPA and I have an MBA with a specialization in international business. I spent the majority of my career in a multi-national telecommunications company in the finance organization (domestic and international). I have become obsessed with bridge and think Bridge Base is “the best thing since sliced bread.” I am interested in the position.
I an another retired CPA. I spent the last 23 years of my working career as CFO for a Wall Street hedge fund. I would be interested in a part time position. As an aside, I have 4500 master points.
I am another retired CPA that would be interested, but not full time. Might you consider splitting the job between two or even three retirees?
