Senior strategic consultant

Sean Giblin is a senior strategic consultant with nearly 20 years of experience as a finance services leader. His areas of expertise include strategic planning, execution, and financial modeling, with proven expertise in integration, process optimization, incentive compensation design, change management, and product management.

Sean’s passion is finding solutions to tough situations that benefit the company and the client. He knows there is always a path forward through open dialogue, transparency, collaboration, and alignment on execution. He’s a pro at leveraging data-driven analysis to drive decisions while balancing risk and outcomes.

In his recent role as Director of Business Strategy at Charles Schwab, Sean developed a framework for TDA integration transition groups, balancing financial, operational, and business objectives.

Sean also spearheaded a Retail Integration Reporting Framework, providing senior leadership with insight into key metrics.

A Chicago-area native, Sean completed his bachelor’s degree in accounting at St. Ambrose University in Iowa and holds a FINRA Series 7 license. He currently lives in Lemont, Illinois, where his two teenage daughters keep him happily busy. He’s in the process of restoring a 1977 Volkswagen bus, hopefully in time to take the family on an upcoming road trip. This music fan loves all genres, including Irish folk, country, and the harder end of rock and roll (he owns over 70 live bootleg Led Zeppelin concert recordings from 1968 through 1980). He’s also a diehard Chicago Bears fan, which, he admits, is tough duty these days.
