Made Possible By
Finance Philosophy
“Our view of finance is that every single business activity either generates resources (or has the potential to) or consumes resources, so we have to be involved in every aspect of the business and know as much about the business as we can.”
Key Metrics
“Every employee in this company has a personal productivity metric that they use to answer the question ‘Was today a good day or not?,’ so that as much as possible, we’re all speaking the same language.”
Mentoring Round
“I’m a corporate CFO. My job is to make this business better. Don’t try to make friends. Don’t try to make people happy. If you do the right things for the business, then in the end everyone will be satisfied.”
