From Reporting to Reforming: How CFOs go beyond numbers to drive strategy

“For a lot of aspiring CFOs, you’d think it’s all about the technical, and numbers. But actually it’s all about the soft skills, getting people aligned with your vision.” - Megan Kao The modern CFO is far more than an accounting or forecasting expert. They need to lead teams, drive strategy, and thrive as a highly visible executive in their company. This session explores the best ways to lead and impact strategy through financial data and insights. Panelists: Megan Kao, Principal, Contrary Taylor Otstot, VP FInance, Dashlane Key takeaways: All great CFOs share a common skill: bringing the numbers to life via storytelling. Aspiring CFOs should focus on broadening their experience, even if it means making a lateral career move. CFOs have three modes: firefighting, fixing, or fortifying. When you’re out of firefighting mode, try to get to fortifying mode as often as possible. Don’t be afraid of negative feedback; seek it out and embrace it. Look for the kernels of truth and build on those. ---------------------------------------------- CFO Connect Summit is a three-day virtual event featuring six curated, in-depth sessions on the industry's hottest topics - powered by CFO Connect's community of 10,000 finance leaders.
