Vice President of Finance & Global Controller

Jill Skordinski

Jill Skordinski joined Compassion as vice president in August 2023. Her experience includes 25 years in financial leadership positions in the financial services, manufacturing and consumer goods industries — for organizations such as Steelcase, HarperCollins, Guggenheim Partners and Corelle Brands.  

Jill started her career as a certified public accountant in the assurance practices of Coopers & Lybrand and PwC, and most recently was the corporate controller for Gibson Brands, overseeing the organization’s tax, treasury and accounting solutions teams. 

Now leading Compassion’s global accounting team, Jill is passionate about building and engaging thriving teams to accomplish goals. She specializes in standardizing processes and applying industry-leading technology platforms to optimize her team’s work. 

Jill was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. After graduating from Arizona State University and working in public and corporate accounting, God prompted her to move to Atlanta, where she worked for the National Christian Foundation.  

At an early age, Jill answered the Lord’s calling to share Jesus with children. From being a student missionary to leading vacation Bible school programs for underprivileged children, Jill has felt a renewed calling to share the hope of the gospel with young people. 

Jill lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and three sons. Together, they enjoy traveling and attending baseball games, college bowl games and Christian concerts.
