Beyond the Financials: How Today’s CFOs Are Reshaping Organizations
For most of the 20th century, the role of CFO didn’t exist. But the economic turmoil of the 1970s prompted big changes and highlighted the need for more stable financial leadership in most organizations. The role has evolved over the years, with the responsibilities becoming broader and more strategic. These days, the modern CFO is often at the helm for critical decisions within their organization, driving change and taking responsibility for vast amounts of data. In this episode, we’ll speak to Itay Goldstein, Professor of Finance at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania; Jason Dess, Global Lead of CFO and Enterprise Value at Accenture; and Alice Globus, CFO of Nanotronics.
