Jim Brennan joined Mosaic in September, 2016 after wandering in off the street and showing off some slick Excel skills. Jim brings over 20 years of finance and accounting experience, ranging from a ten-year stint at PricewaterhouseCoopers, to several years in the advertising sector and finally, surfing the chaotic waves of the SF start-up industry. Tempted by the prospect of stability, he defected under the cover of night, in a rowboat without oars, uphill both ways, to the greener grass of Mosaic where he handles all of the corporate accounting and financial planning in preparation for our inevitable billion-dollar IPO. As a rehabilitated New Yorker, he marvels at the prospect of skiing and wine country in the same weekend, and the ability to watch NFL football at 10 in the morning! When he’s not counting beans, he’s counting the days until his wife will let him show the entire Star Wars anthology to his son and daughter.
