Jeremiah Henning

MBA Candidate · Accounting & Finance

I spent twenty years in technology — from the ground up through senior leadership. Now I'm getting my MBA, focused on accounting and finance — because somewhere along the way I realized that why companies make the financial decisions they do is more interesting to me than what technology they use to execute them. The combination of both turns out to be pretty rare.

Previous chapter

Leadership

Led technology at a small company where “technology” touched everything: software, infrastructure, manufacturing, marketing systems, sales pipeline, order processing. Small team count, large blast radius.

Transformation

Inherited platforms that had accumulated years of deferred decisions. Modernized them under real operational pressure, simplified what could be simplified, and built what didn't exist yet.

Security & resilience

Worked through real incidents — the kind of cases that clarify what your architecture actually is versus what you thought it was. Hardened what remained.

Education

BS Information Technology (Summa Cum Laude) + BS Business & Professional Leadership. MBA in progress, started May 2026, expected 2027.

How I think

  • Start with the model. Before an opinion, understand the structure — the mechanism that explains why a number is what it is, not just what it might say.
  • Prefer artifacts over opinions. Notes, spreadsheets, and small tools beat vague takes and guesswork.
  • Optimize for clarity. If something can't be explained simply, it's not understood well enough yet.
  • Learn by building. I build small simulations and bridges to internalize concepts before the coursework formally covers them.
