How can you become a #CFO of a #Fortune500 company at a (relatively) young age? Get promoted into the role. Sound easy? It's not. It takes a combination of: • Hard work and long hours (Say goodbye to Work/Life balance?) • Weak internal competition • An incumbent CFO who retires or takes and even better opportunity • Good Fortune (otherwise known as luck) • And a very strong #CEO leader who has the capacity, ability and desire to develop leaders *What do you think it takes?* h/t Sheryl Estrada #executivesearch #executivecoaching #leadership #hirethebest #DERGEL #CFOMoves #executivemoves DERGEL Executive Search • A Member of Cornerstone Cornerstone International Group

What's the best way to advance your career and stay on top? How do you effectively lead your company as a first time accounting or finance leader? Yesterday I had coffee, lunch and HH meetings with a public company CAO, VC backed CFO and PE backed CFO and all of them shared similar insights. Get a personal "Board of Directors" and don't be afraid to ask for help! All of them have accomplished a lot in their own rights but understand they will always encounter something in their role they haven't seen before. Examples? Term sheets on a capital raise that impact the business differently (debt vs asset vs equity backed). Finance transformations (turnarounds, team upgrades, new visions/strategies). Growing a business from pre-revenue to scaling process and building controls from scratch. They all keep in touch with industry peers and leaders and aren't afraid to pick up the phone and "ask for help" and trade notes/bounce ideas off of each other. Moral of the story? It doesn't matter how much success you've had or what you've accomplished. Find people who have done what you do or what you want to do and don't be afraid to ask for help. One thing I've learned is the "higher up" someone is the more they want to help! #leadership #boardofdirectors #askforhelp

Interesting article in the FT yesterday about the CFO market and the increasingly popular route of CFO's becoming CEO's. IT reporting into the CFO is certainly a trend I have seen on the rise... #leadership #cio #ceo #successionplanning

In Q2 of 2024, we saw numerous CFOs transition to roles like COO, CEO, or president: - Indicates evolving career paths for financial executives. - Highlights the shift towards broader executive responsibilities. - Appointments of seasoned professionals showcase the need for strategic financial leadership. - Emphasises the importance of guiding companies through complex transactions and operational efficiencies. - Demonstrates the cross-functional nature of modern leadership positions. Conclusion: The movement of CFOs to CEO or other C-suite executive roles is anchoring organisations in financial discipline in a dynamic environment. #cfo #businessstrategy #financialleadership
