Mitchell Skleres, MBA

 About Me

I am an accomplished finance professional with an MBA in Finance and Accounting from Kent State University and a proven track record in investment management, ERP implementations, and financial strategy. My journey began as a student-athlete at Gannon University, where I wrestled competitively before transferring to Kent State to focus on my academic and professional goals.

At Kent, I gained invaluable experience with Golden Flash Asset Management, a prestigious student-led investment fund. As Regional Director of Scandinavia and later President of the International Fund, I managed over $250,000 in endowment funds, led a team of 10 regional analysts, and oversaw investment strategy and performance reporting. Under my leadership, the fund earned 3rd place in the Graduate Overall competition at the Quinnipiac GAME Forum, outperforming hundreds of competitors.

Professionally, I’ve led complex projects, including the implementation of ERP systems for multi-billion-dollar organizations and advisory engagements for public and private sector clients. I specialize in optimizing operational scalability, redesigning business processes, and driving efficiency across financial operations. My expertise extends to system integration, stakeholder collaboration, and the development of project budgets and contracts.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about exploring history, geopolitics, economics, art, and horology, which continuously fuel my curiosity and inspire my problem-solving approach.
