Check out this insightful interview with Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, President and CEO. She discusses how her background in finance and accounting prepared her for this leadership role.

Women held 16 percent of large company CFO jobs in 2022. That’s an all-time high, up from 6.3 percent in 2004—but that’s still less than 1 in 5 CEOs. Firebirds Wood Fired Grill just appointed former Krispy Kreme CFO, Caren Prince, CPA, as the NextGen Casual's new chief financial officer. "I am proud to be a female CFO, and I believe that is important that I use my position as an opportunity to mentor and develop other women and advocate for women in leadership," Prince tells FSR. "We as an industry have the opportunity to create forums such as Women’s ERGs and the new FSR Women in Restaurant Leadership initiative where women can have a voice and feel that they are being supported. These types of environments allow us to ensure that we are fostering an inclusive workplace culture that seeks diversity in hiring, and celebrates the achievements of everybody. All women need role models, and it can be hard in the restaurant industry to find them. Having mentorship programs is critical in addition to promoting equal opportunities in senior roles." https://lnkd.in/g9j7V3FC

Family businesses are the backbone of the American economy. But as they grow, unique challenges arise. I’ve worked with many family-owned businesses to recruit new C-suite leaders as they ponder how to take things to the next level, particularly when the business requires greater financial acumen. Common questions emerge: What happens when a family business outgrows its financial leadership? How can a company navigate the delicate balance between preserving family values and legacy while bringing in the external expertise needed to drive growth and success? I address these and other issues in an article published this week by Family Business Magazine . If your family business is approaching a generational transfer of leadership, or grappling with growing pains, I’d be happy to discuss options and opportunities for finding the right outside talent to address these challenges. https://lnkd.in/gFAAWEDF

🤝By joining forces, Finance and IT can form a powerful partnership that propels the company forward. Traditionally, CFOs focused on overspending, and that meant blocking innovation. Today's CFO should look for opportunities to work in partnership with the CTO or CIO to help drive the company's growth and success. McKinsey & Company research shows that companies identified as "innovative growers" drove a four-percentage-point higher cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) growth versus other outperformers. https://lnkd.in/g8k45mvr via Sheryl Estrada, Fortune   #CFOs #innovation #leadership
