Elena is CFM’s bookkeeper and the hand that pays bills and sends invoices to clients. She joined CFM in 2016 to achieve a better work-life balance after a successful and stressful career as a financial consultant for high tech start-ups and creative companies. Her bachelor’s degree is in business administration. Elena grew up in Cupertino, but moved with her family to Tualatin, Oregon after being drawn by the lush landscapes of the Silicon Forest. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with her two children and friends, as well as gardening. A San Francisco 49er fan, she likes to watch professional, college and local sporting events. Elena is a runner for any cause like “good wine, chocolate or just to spend time with a friend”. She has been on the Leukemia Society Team in Training for more than 20 years.
