Kristin Henri, MBA

With a unique and wide-ranging background, Kristin has experience in engineering, finance and management, allowing her to adapt to any business environment.

While in engineering school, Kristin completed an internship program in power distribution design with the Florida Power Corporation/Progress Energy.  She was then invited to be an engineering co-op student, which led to a full-time electrical engineering position with the Walt Disney World utility division, Reedy Creek Energy Services.  While there, Kristin expanded her knowledge of designing power and control systems, as well as site planning, infrastructure development and project management.

Just before completing her MBA, Kristin became an analyst with Walt Disney World Business Planning & Development, which focused on growing revenue for Walt Disney World through new strategic business initiatives.  In this position, Kristin translated between the engineering designers and financial managers on projects from land use and development to hotel and attraction expansions and improvements.

This experience led to an operational finance manager role with Walt Disney World, first for Human Resources and then for Marketing and Sales.  In these roles, Kristin led the management of P&L’s, five-year plans, annual budgets and monthly forecasts. She also participated in capital investment planning and strategic project development.

In the two years following her work with Walt Disney World, Kristin worked as a business broker with Transworld Business Brokers.  There she was exposed to the small business world and was able to use her analysis experience to evaluate business health and value for both buyers and sellers.  While gaining this real world experience in valuing, marketing and selling businesses, she quickly rose to the top, becoming a member of the Transworld President’s Club and winning the Business Brokers of Florida Million Dollar Sales award.

Since her time with Transworld Business Brokers, her prior leader, the owner of the company, has hired Kristin on a number of occasions as a consultant.  As well as compiling and analyzing data for several highly confidential projects, she designed and developed the sales forecasting and broker goals models currently used in Transworld company offices throughout Florida.  To this day, Kristin maintains her active Florida Real Estate Associate license with Transworld and continues to be a member of the Business Brokers of Florida (BBF), while not actively working in the industry.

Since January of 2007, Kristin has owned and operated WynFish Business Solutions, LLC.  She started by networking with friends and business associates and quickly found clients with bookkeeping, records clean-up, organization and data entry needs.  In mid 2007, Kristin began to bring on consultants to assist with clients as her business grew quickly and expanded into business operations planning and assistance, reporting, strategic planning, management consulting, organization planning and implementation, sales team planning and chief financial officer (CFO) management. In 2009, Kristin assumed the position of Finance Section Chief (CFO pro temp) for High Alert and the C15 Critical family of companies.

Kristin holds a magna cum laude Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida State University and a Master of Business Administration with honors from Stetson University.  She is also a recipient of the prestigious Partners in Excellence award from the Walt Disney World Company and is a member of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce. Because of Kristin’s skills and background, she was recently selected as an Advisory Board Member with the Small Business Center at the University of Central Florida, where she volunteers as an advisor for qualifying businesses who need assistance in sustaining and growing net income and cash flow.
