Jim Laird, CFA, CPA CMA. Jim is a 15+ year corporate finance veteran. He started his career as an equity analyst in the late 90’s tech boom, covering semiconductor and software companies. Then he moved over to a 7 year stint in venture capital, acting as a portfolio manager for one of Canada’s largest VC’s. Finally, he was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and left to form his own company with a partner in the entertainment software space. After successfully selling that company, his newest assignment is as the CFO of a public cleantech company in the water space. He’s also a programmer with a strong math background – his love of data led him to first build the Laird Report. Jim is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Chartered Professional Accountant and Certified Management Accountant (CPA CMA).
