Ask Acumen

Kelly Carranza

Vice President, Finance & Accounting/Corporate Controller

How long have you been with Acumen?

I started as a consultant with Acumen in January 2021 and became a full-time employee in July 2023.

What initially drew you to Acumen and our company’s mission?

I am very hopeful that Acumen will be able to help folks with Alzheimer’s disease, particularly since my family, like many others have been personally affected by AD.

Which of Acumen’s four values (People, Integrity, Innovation, and Perseverance) resonates most with your work and role?

I think Perseverance resonates the most lately. The Finance Team is expected to deliver financial results that are accurate and timely for each reporting period and as soon as one reporting period is wrapped up, we start to do it all over again.

From your perspective, what sets our company apart in the field of Alzheimer’s research?

The people at Acumen are incredibly intelligent and interesting and I enjoy working with such a talented group each day.

Outside of work, what are some of your hobbies or interests that you enjoy in your free time?

I like to travel and get outside in beautiful Colorado for walks with our dogs and to watch my youngest daughter play soccer.
