Class Valuation recently named Daniel Allan Busch as chief financial officer (CFO). As an experienced finance leader, Busch will oversee financial strategy and operations and play a central role in Class Valuation’s expansion.
Busch most recently served as CFO of Continental Services, a private equity-backed provider of food service management solutions operating across five states. During his tenure, the company grew nearly fivefold through organic expansion and 18 acquisitions.
At Continental, Busch led a team of 100 across finance, IT, procurement, fleet, pricing, merchandising, scheduling and loss prevention, and integrated five companies into a single enterprise-wide finance and reporting platform.
He also built dedicated financial planning and analysis, tax, treasury and M&A finance functions and established a data analytics team that created workflow automations, performance dashboards and machine learning tools, which improved same-store sales and reduced labor costs and stockouts.
Earlier in his career, Busch served as CFO of PREZIO Health, CFO and treasurer of Renosol Corp. and CFO and treasurer of Tru-Val Tubing Co., where he played key roles in financial turnarounds, operational restructuring and strategic growth.
Busch also held senior roles at The Advisory Board Co., where he advised hospital and physician network executives and helped launch new programs in response to emerging industry needs.
“Dan brings a rare combination of disciplined financial management, operational insight and hands-on leadership that aligns perfectly with where Class Valuation is headed,” Class Valuation CEO John Fraas said in a release. “His experience integrating teams, elevating performance and using data to drive better decisions will strengthen our foundation and support our growth in the years ahead.”
