Dana Kettle, CFO, Henderson Engineers
Dana began her journey as Henderson’s first accountant in 1994 and now proudly stands as Chief Financial Officer. She was also the second female principal and the first woman appointed to our Board of Directors. Not to mention, she’s the first non-engineer to hold either of those roles in Henderson’s history. Dana is deeply involved in the intricacies of all of Henderson’s financials, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone else who knows the ins and outs of the business better than she does.
