Inside the Mentoring Round, CFO Eric Emans emphasizes the importance of overcoming the fear of failure early in one’s career, as learning often comes from making mistakes. He fosters an expectation-based culture where finance professionals are encouraged to engage with the business, challenge assumptions, and drive insights. Emans believes this approach distinguishes great organizations from good ones. His priority over the next 12 months is focusing on existing customers, ensuring they value purchased products, and exploring cross-sell or upsell opportunities. Additionally, Emans will concentrate on strengthening the collaboration between the chief product officer, CMO, and CRO to refine product strategy and market approach.
