Hey everyone. I'm Devendra, but everyone calls me Dev. I am a Senior Manager at Capstone Infrastructure Corporation. Capstone is a developer, owner, and operator of clean and renewable energy projects across North America. Our portfolio includes approximately 766MW gross installed capacity across 29 facilities, including wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and natural gas cogeneration power plants.
We have been with Vena since 2015, initially implementing it as an account reconciliation solution, but since then we have expanded the use case to include our KPI, business planning and reforecasting reporting. The journey has been great, and the payback from the solution incredible.
Favorite excel feature is INDEX(Match) or using shortcuts to cut down on the mouse usage. Outside of work, I am an avid traveler, and excited to be travelling post-covid lockdowns! Look forward to sharing ideas, and connecting with everyone!

Hi all!
My name is Christine Sawyer and I am the Director of Finance and Accounting at the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). ACHE is a professional society for healthcare leaders and is the professional home for over 48,000 healthcare executives.
I like many Excel features, but pivot tables still have my heart.
We've been with Vena for two years. We have only done a few new things beyond the processes we implemented with. Looking forward to engaging with this group on finance and accounting topics as well as Vena use cases, tips and tricks!
