Completely agree, Matt Putra! This advice is especially relevant for CFOs in private equity-backed portfolio companies. These intangible skills are essential for driving success in a competitive environment, where today’s CFOs need to: 📊 Actively manage up to their boards: Communicate portfolio company needs and realities regularly, leverage the board’s expertise, and keep them informed about obstacles. 📈 Become data storytellers: Transform financial data into compelling, forward-looking strategies. 🤝 Spearhead deal origination: Play a critical role on the M&A team to drive growth. 🌟 Lead with empathy and transparency: Prioritize team development and clear communication to inspire and motivate. CEOs and funds looking for their next CFO should prioritize these skills — and current and aspiring CFOs should make developing them a top priority! #PrivateEquity #Finance #CFO #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveRecruiting
