FRED HELMS

Experienced corporate executive that has dedicated the later part of his life to help people. Over 12 years ago, I retired to dedicate the rest of my life to help and provide support to people, non-profits, universities, and corporations. I was blessed to become the Chief Operating Officer of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA. For the last 10 years, I have been a partner in a national business consulting firm, Hardesty, providing C-level leadership to corporations to help them become efficient and profitable. Plus, I was privileged to become an adjunct professor at a Christian university, Concordia Irvine. After moving to Prescott, I became a volunteer at Yavapai Regional Medical Center, supporting the Cath Lab, CV ICU, and the reception/information desk. I volunteered to become a chaplain at YRMC, helping both patients and their families in health difficulties and end-of-life situations by providing spiritual support and guidance according to their faith and background. Demonstrated working knowledge in variety of theological and philosophical approaches to questions surrounding death, pain, suffering and the meaning of human existence.

In my primary career over the decades, I held several positions in banking industry including mergers & acquisitions, capital raising, treasury management, and commercial lending. Left banking to become a CFO and have been the CFO/COO of many companies since then. A full resume of my professional experience is available upon request.
