Management Team
| Joe Flynn Founder and CEO  CEO Joe Flynn founded Lavante (then AuditSolutions) in 2001 with the vision of completely transforming the traditionally manual-based AP audit recovery industry through the use of sophisticated on-demand technologies. His 5 years in management with the then-leader in audit recovery spurred him to develop an automated, ongoing solution to the manual and static audit processes that failed to recover significant lost profits in vendor credits. Through its rapid growth and premier client list Lavante has since been recognized as the on-demand leader and innovator in the areas of profit recovery and vendor file management. Prior to founding Lavante, Joe served as the Director of Operations for the statement audit group of Howard Shultz and Associates (HSA), then the nation’s leading recovery auditing firm. At HSA, Joe held a series of progressive positions in the areas of marketing, product strategy, sales management and operations. Joe is a recognized expert in the field of P-to-P processes. Selected as one of the 40 leading executives under the age of 40 in 2009 by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, he serves on the Board of Directors of the Silicon Valley Workers Investment Network and as an Ambassador to the San Jose Chamber of Commerce. He holds a BS degree in Economics from the University of Santa Clara. |
