In his role as CFO, Walker will oversee the accounting, finance, payroll, and procurement departments and has responsibility for budget development and forecasting, cash flow management, financial compliance and reporting, and tracking operational metrics. Walker joined REMSA Health in 2017 as a senior business analyst and was soon promoted to corporate controller.
