Waldron is a well-respected professional in academic, operational, and financial services sectors within both public and private institutions of higher education. Waldron’s decades of experience in strategic financial and operational management, budgeting, and financial forecasting are robust. Her recent roles as Interim Vice President for Finance and CFO at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire and Vice President for Finance and Administration at Paul Smith’s College in New York saw her advise and structure all elements of complex budgeting, new areas of revenue generation, and creating operational efficiencies. In addition to these posts, Waldron is well-known to the higher education community in Maine, having served as Vice President and Sr. Vice President for Administration and Finance for more than a decade at the University of Maine, Orono.
