Dan McEntee formed Monta Vista Finance in 2009 to provide financial consulting and business valuation services to technology companies in need of seasoned financial expertise.  He has spent his professional career in financial and business development positions in Silicon Valley, including the last fifteen years in CFO roles in public and private technology companies.  His areas of expertise include business plan development, fund raising, acquisitions, turnarounds, reorganizations and business valuation. 

Dan’s career includes serving as CFO at Narus and InnoPath Software, both late stage, venture capital backed companies providing infrastructure software to international telecom enterprises.  In each of these companies, he managed revenue growth toward profitability, closed rounds of venture financing, negotiated credit agreements, built quality financial teams and implemented software revenue recognition processes.

Previously, Dan played a key role in the development of Globalstar, a leading satellite based international telecommunications operator, including five years as the CFO of the company.  He joined Globalstar in 1992, architected the company's first financial models, and was instrumental in the completion of the Globalstar IPO in 1995.  He became Globalstar’s CFO in June of 2000 and ultimately assumed responsibility for the financial restructuring of the company through a chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The restructuring was completed in 2004 resulting in the sale of the Globalstar assets to a successor entity and the retirement of $3.4 billion of liabilities. 

Dan's education includes an MBA from the U.C. Berkeley Haas School of Business and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.  He is accredited as a valuation analyst by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA).
