Inside The Mentoring Round, CFO Sarah Alper emphasizes the necessity of a collaborative approach to growth, underscoring that “Finance can’t just tell you what you need to do. It’s a conversation with the business on how to do that, on how to get there.” She explains how experiences at GE and UiPath have endowed her with a unique perspective on the convergence of finance, technology, and strategic planning. Separately, Alper outlines her priorities for the coming 12 months, including fundraising and executing the business plan, to ensure that Pactum AI capitalizes on its potential.
