847: When Minding the Business Is a Cultural Mandate | Jim Morgan, CFO, CallRail

We can’t help but cringe when a finance leader tells us that they don’t want to be known as “the CFO of 'No'”—that shopworn characterization of CFOs who seem to enjoy giving thumbs down verdicts.    So, we were pleased when CFO Jim Morgan of CallRail steered clear of the trite trope when he recently…

647: Accruing Your Global Acumen | Adrian Talbot, CFO, Hotwire

When Adrian Talbot tells us that he parachuted into Thames Television in the early 1990s, the image of the London skyline—once used to brand the popular British broadcasting company —quickly comes to mind.
