While technical excellence, financial control, and operational discipline form a strong foundation, stepping into the CFO role requires a fundamental shift in mindset. It is not simply a promotion—it is a move from managing finance to leading the enterprise. The CFO becomes the strategic partner to the CEO, the external face of finance, and a key voice with investors, boards, and stakeholders. In this episode, Richard Turner, GrowCFO Mentor and Certified Transition Coach, draws on more than four decades of international finance leadership across 15 sectors and multiple countries. He explains how adaptability, humility, and curiosity enable successful transitions between industries—and why these same qualities are essential when progressing from FD to CFO. Richard outlines the universal principles that underpin effective finance leadership, from cash and cost management to stakeholder awareness and team empowerment, and explores how these fundamentals evolve at executive level. The conversation also addresses the modern pressures facing CFOs, including rapid technological change, AI adoption, and increasing executive scrutiny. Richard emphasizes that today's CFO must balance digital fluency with deeply human leadership—coaching teams, building trust, and supporting CEOs under pressure. With research showing that 40% of executives fail in new roles, he highlights the importance of structured mentoring and transition support to ensure aspiring CFOs not only secure the role—but succeed in it. Key topics covered: Why the move from FD to CFO requires a shift from operational control to enterprise-wide leadership The five universal principles that apply across all industries and underpin CFO effectiveness The three major pressures facing modern CFOs: technology, human leadership, and CEO partnership Why humility and curiosity are critical when entering new industries or executive roles The “5 Cs” communication framework every aspiring CFO should master How structured mentoring and executive transition coaching reduce failure risk in new roles.

Companies that once grew by “buying” growth with aggressive spend are now being forced to prove they can scale in a way that's sustainable, repeatable, and cash‑efficient.   Kevin Appleby sits down with Manu Diwakar, Chief Financial Officer at Virta Health, to unpack how high‑growth companies can scale aggressively without setting fire to their cash reserves  Manu draws on a career that spans Riot Games, the creator economy, AgTech, and now digital health, to show what disciplined, intelligent growth really looks like in practice. This isn't theory; it's the lived experience of a CFO who has repeatedly joined businesses in the steep part of the growth curve and helped them mature without losing their edge. Manu explains how Virta Health is tackling the massive, expensive problem of metabolic disease with a model that reverses conditions like type 2 diabetes while also reducing healthcare costs  Along the way, he breaks down how to think about capital efficiency, when to raise versus when to generate and reinvest your own cash, and why talent, culture, and clear unit economics beat vanity metrics every time. For finance leaders and founders who want to scale with ambition—but keep control of the runway—this conversation offers a grounded, experience‑driven playbook. Key topics covered: Manu's journey from Riot Games to digital health and why he chooses roles where the business is still being built and scaled, not just maintained  How Virta Health's model reverses metabolic disease while lowering costs, and what that teaches about aligning mission, product, and economics  Why scaling without burning cash starts with clear value delivery, not price cuts—especially in tough capital markets  The importance of hiring for growth: building teams whose capabilities can stretch with the business rather than constantly hiring “the next tier up”  How a CFO can balance regulation, data security, and innovation in complex sectors like digital healthcare  Manu's advice to aspiring CFOs: prioritize environments with steep learning, strong teammates, and real growth, not just impressive titles  Links Manu Diwakar on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps:  0:00 Manu's career in high‑growth companies – From Riot Games to Virta Health and why he gravitates to businesses that are still being built and scaled  4:00 Virta Health's mission and metabolic disease explained – What metabolic disease really is and how Virta's approach tackles the root cause, not just symptoms  8:20 Business model and unit economics – How partnering with health plans and employers, and charging per engaged patient, underpins a scalable, cash‑efficient model  12:10 Regulatory complexity vs. innovation – Balancing cost efficiency, patient outcomes, data security, and compliance in digital healthcare  15:40 Scaling without over‑spending – Generating capital internally, reinvesting in growth, and resisting the temptation to chase volume with discounts  19:30 Talent and leadership in scaling teams – Lessons from Riot on hiring for potential, designing growth paths, and building a high‑calibre environment  30:50 Career advice for future CFOs – Why continuous learning, working in truly growing businesses, and choosing stellar leaders matters more than almost anything else  Find out more about GrowCFO If you enjoyed this podcast, you can subscribe to the GrowCFO Show with your favorite podcast app. The GrowCFO show is listed in the Apple podcast directory, Spotify and many others.

Every token issuer knows that scale depends on liquidity, but liquidity depends on scale. To break this cycle, Bermuda-based MembersCap, the specialist reinsurance investment manager, is making available composable versions of its tokenised funds. The firm is confident composability will extend the range of allocators open to investing in MembersCap funds beyond traditional end-investors such as foundations and pension funds to encompass the corporate treasurers, hedge funds, market makers, arbitrageurs, proprietary traders and yield farmers active in the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) markets. The challenge is that the 24/7 trading models characteristic of DeFi demand instant liquidity. MembersCap meets the challenge through an innovative custodial structure. Which means the funds get a liquidity boost as well as wider distribution. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, asked Bruce Jackson, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Capital Officer at MembersCap, how it all works.⭐ Read more about this interview: MembersCap is repackaging its tokenised funds to meet the needs of DeFi tradersLearn more and connect with Future of Finance:

Eighty percent of Americans live in urban areas, and for them, 2026 is likely to be a year of immense change as the federal government quickens the pace of trillions of dollars in funding cuts to cities, counties, and states expected over the next decade. Moderated by William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance Public Finance Adviser and Penn IUR Fellow, and Susan Wachter, Co-Director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Wharton Professor of Real Estate and Professor of Finance, our expert panel from government and Wall Street will dissect how urban America and its leaders will cope with this new brand of fiscal federalism. Speakers include: • Janet Cowell, Mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina • Fitzroy Lee, Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Chief Economist, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, District of Columbia • Sarah Parker, Senior Research and Strategy Officer for Infrastructure, Environmental and Economic Analysis, New York City's Independent Budget Office (IBO) • Nicholas Samuels, Senior Vice President, US Public Finance at Moody's Ratings and • Matthew Stitt, Managing Director, PFM Group Consulting LLC. NOTABLE QUOTES Cowell: “We feel optimistic that we're a growing community with a number of levers and ways we can accommodate that growth, good finances, but the risk does become that federal relationship and how they look at cities and fund cities. Parker: “The relationship of a city and a state is becoming even more crucial, and even that dynamic has shifted as the relationship between the federal government and states and cities has really become much more tenuous. […] Our partnerships with Albany, both Governor Hochul and the state legislature, are more important than ever.” Lee: “As the nation's capital, of course, we host a disproportionate amount of federal jobs. And so the federal workforce downsizing presents the biggest challenge to the district's economy for the year ahead.” Lee: “[The city] budget anticipated the fiscal impact of the federal workforce reduction and incorporated a revenue reduction of about $300 million per year. That's about 3% of the district's $11 billion local source revenue.” Stitt: “In regard to the funding challenges, many cities and/or counties are preparing for how to maintain service delivery despite federal cuts. This is partially being reflected in budgeting five-year plans/forecast by some cities placing more money into their reserves.” Samuels: In 3 of the 10 largest U.S. Cities, the combination of rent and childcare, transportation, and taxes consume more than 60% of household income. So, those kinds of rising living costs […] dampen consumer spending, they reduce tax revenues, they can influence migration patterns and workforce availability.” Parker: “The longer term [issue] is how a government itself addresses its own adaptation needs relative to its physical climate risk.” Cowell: “In North Carolina and in many states in the South, the State General Assembly has a lot of authority and power, and they have taken away a number of revenue sources for local government […] They are setting the rules, and it definitely impacts how we do our job as mayors.”

eDreams ODIGEO's Deep Dive: Key TakeawaysPresented by CFO David ElizagaeDreams ODIGEO is entering what management describes as a decisive inflection point in its corporate development. In this deep dive, David Elizaga, Chief Financial Officer, outlines why the company's recent strategic shift represents not a defensive adjustment but a high-conviction move designed to unlock a significantly larger addressable market and a more predictable earnings profile over the long term.A Strategic Reset Focused on Long-Term Value CreationManagement begins by directly addressing the sharp share price correction of roughly 60 percent following the November 2025 strategy update. The market reaction was driven primarily by the decision to introduce a monthly payment option for Prime subscriptions alongside the existing annual model.This change results in a one-time cash unwind in the short term, temporarily depressing reported Cash EBITDA and free cash flow in FY26 and FY27. Crucially, CFO David Elizaga stresses that this is a timing effect rather than a loss of value. The cash is still contractually secured but received over twelve months instead of upfront.In essence, eDreams is deliberately trading near-term cash acceleration for structurally higher market penetration, faster subscriber growth, and a more diversified revenue base.Why the Monthly Model Is a Growth CatalystThe introduction of monthly Prime subscriptions materially lowers the entry barrier for customers and significantly expands the total addressable market. Management now targets more than 13 million Prime members and over €270 million in Cash EBITDA by FY30.Beyond scale, the business mix improves meaningfully. The Prime platform becomes less dependent on European flights and increasingly diversified across geographies and travel products. By FY30, more than two thirds of volumes are expected to be generated outside the traditional European flight segment.Importantly, this transition is not theoretical. eDreams has already demonstrated its ability to scale Prime from roughly two million to over seven million members, giving management strong confidence in execution.Track Record of Delivering on Long-Term PlansA central pillar of the investment case is credibility. Since David Elizaga became CFO, eDreams has executed three long-term strategic plans, each time delivering on the guidance provided.The current strategy is framed as a continuation of this disciplined approach. Management highlights that the 2021 strategic plan involved significantly higher risk and was delivered successfully despite severe external shocks including the pandemic aftermath, geopolitical conflicts, inflation, and weak consumer sentiment.Against this backdrop, the CFO argues that the current valuation reaction does not reflect execution reality.Valuation Disconnect and Market AssumptionsManagement identifies a pronounced disconnect between internal expectations and sell-side valuation frameworks. Analysts are currently applying conservative assumptions across multiple dimensions....▶️ Other videos: Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/ Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/ Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/ T&C This publication is intended solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

In an environment where boards, CEOs, and recruiters routinely research candidates before they ever meet them, a CFO's digital presence has become a critical part of their professional reputation. This episode explores why even the most technically strong CFOs risk being overlooked if their expertise is invisible online—and how a thoughtful, strategic presence can amplify their impact, influence, and career opportunities. In this episode, Kevin Appleby interviews Wassia Kamon, Chief Financial Officer at ACE, on why modern CFOs who remain offline are increasingly being overlooked for senior roles and strategic opportunities. Wassia explains that technical excellence and a strong CV are no longer enough on their own; in a world where boards, CEOs, recruiters, and investors routinely research leaders online, a CFO's digital footprint now forms a critical part of their professional reputation. The discussion positions online presence not as vanity marketing, but as a strategic leadership tool for signalling credibility, expertise, and relevance. Wassia breaks down how finance leaders can translate their offline achievements into a thoughtful online narrative, especially on platforms like LinkedIn. She explores the risks of staying invisible—missed promotions, fewer board invitations, and weaker influence in the market—and contrasts that with the compounding benefits of controlled visibility: attracting better opportunities, shaping industry conversations, and building trust at scale. Throughout the episode, she offers practical, realistic steps for time-poor CFOs to build a presence that aligns with their values, protects their reputation, and supports both their organisation's brand and their own long‑term career. Key topics covered: Why relying on “my work will speak for itself” is dangerous for CFOs in an era where decision‑makers research leaders online before ever speaking to them. The specific ways a weak or non‑existent LinkedIn presence can cause a CFO to be passed over for roles, speaking engagements, and advisory positions. How CFOs can reframe personal branding as professional positioning—focusing on credibility, clarity of message, and service to stakeholders rather than self‑promotion. Practical tactics for busy finance leaders to build an online presence in under 30 minutes a week, without feeling inauthentic or overly self‑promotional. The role of thought leadership content (posts, articles, podcast appearances, panels) in signalling strategic capability beyond accounting and control. How a visible, values‑aligned online presence helps CFOs attract better talent, influence key external stakeholders, and future‑proof their careers against rapid change and AI disruption.  Links Wassia Kamon on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps:  00:00–03:00 – Introduction: why staying offline is no longer a neutral choice for CFOs and how visibility influences who gets noticed for top roles. 03:00–10:00 – Wassia's perspective on how boards, recruiters, and CEOs research candidates online and what they expect to see from a modern finance leader. 10:00–18:00 – Breaking the “I'm not a marketer” mindset: reframing personal branding as risk management, professional positioning, and stakeholder communication. 18:00–28:00 – Concrete examples of simple, repeatable LinkedIn habits CFOs can build—profile optimisation, commenting, and sharing expertise in a low‑friction way. 28:00–36:00 – How visibility ties directly into influence: winning internal sponsorship, attracting external opportunities, and shaping perception of the finance function. 36:00–44:00 – Final playbook: a realistic weekly routine for CFOs to maintain an online presence without sacrificing core responsibilities.

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with Ken Bedingfield, Chief Financial Officer and President of Missile Solutions at L3Harris. This episode was recorded on December 6, 2025 at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, CA. Ken discusses his journey across the defense industrial base, from leadership at a traditional prime to serving as the 20th employee and CEO at venture-backed counter-UAS startup Epirus, to his current dual role at L3Harris. The conversation explores the fundamental shift from requirements-driven to capacity-driven defense strategy, and examines how L3Harris operates as the "tweener" between traditional primes and startups by making decisions in days rather than weeks.Five key takeaways from today's episode:Defense has shifted from requirements to capacity: The industry is moving away from chasing the last bit of capability or technology toward building production capacity at scale. Capacity itself has become a deterrent, driven by recognition of current conflicts and the real-world depletion of munitions stockpiles.Commercial contracting models benefit traditional primes too: L3Harris already derives 20% of sales through commercial models and strongly supports acquisition reform including eliminating cost accounting standards, reducing requirements, and expanding commerciality definitions; reforms often assumed to benefit only new entrants.Solid rocket motor production faces unique scaling challenges: Aerojet Rocketdyne's Camden, Arkansas facility spans 2,500 acres with 200 buildings and highly specialized regulations around explosive loads, storage, and safety. Scaling production requires understanding these complexities, suggesting new entrants should consider partnerships rather than building parallel capacity.Successful partnerships require mission alignment over technology hype: L3Harris positions itself as "connective tissue" between technology and mission capability. For example, partnering with Palantir to integrate AI into world-class electro-optic sensors rather than trying to build computer vision capabilities in-house. The key question for partnerships is "are we moving fast enough?"Public companies can innovate with the right focus: L3Harris has self-funded R&D in communications for 20 years without charging the government, and is transitioning other product lines to similar commercial models. While managing quarterly earnings and public market expectations isn't easy, publicly traded companies can find creative ways to invest and move at speed.Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

Synopsis: This episode is proudly sponsored by Quartzy. Roivant Sciences CEO Matt Gline returns to Biotech 2050 for a deeply reflective conversation with host Rahul Chaturvedi on what it really takes to build a biotech company that lasts. From Roivant's transformational $7B Pfizer-to-Roche deal to delivering registrational Phase 3 data in dermatomyositis—one of biotech's most difficult graveyard indications—Matt shares how disciplined execution, decentralization, and learning from failure shaped Roivant's trajectory. The discussion explores Roivant's unique “Vant” model, why multiple CEOs can outperform centralized command-and-control structures, and how thoughtful clinical trial design—down to steroid tapering and site execution—can make or break outcomes in rare disease development. Beyond science and strategy, Matt reflects candidly on his own evolution as CEO, the realities of leading a public biotech through volatile markets, and why authenticity, focus, and embracing hard lessons matter more than chasing hype. This episode is a masterclass in biotech leadership, clinical development, and long-term value creation. Biography: Matt Gline serves as Chief Executive Officer of Roivant Sciences.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Rob Schimek, Group CEO at bolttech, about how bolttech's connector model is redefining global insurance distribution, from telcos to auto makers and beyond. They also talk about why the future of protection will depend on trust, data and design more than policy documents and premiums, and what leadership really looks like when you are building at the intersection of revelation, innovation, and human impact.  KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have an hour to solve a problem you should spend 55 minutes on the problem and then 5 minutes on the solution. I've spent my career in the problem, the formation of bolttech is the attempt at the solution – it's the path that I've chosen to bring that solution to the marketplace. Our mission is to work out how to close a multi-billion-dollar protection gap that has existed for years, that's getting bigger? In order to do that we need to really understand the problem. We think there are 4 basic drivers for this multi-billion-dollar protection gap that and they're pretty irrefutable. We're trying to make a seamless connection between the buyers of protection products (insurers) and the distribution partners who have access to the customers so we can put those solutions into the hands of the customers. bolttech's here to try to provide tailored, affordable, accessible, and convenience insurance in the hands of the customer on a B2B2C basis, connecting big partners who have lots of customers to the insurance providers. Without the data there's a tendency to paint everything with one brush, like it's all the same. Data is accessible and available on a real-time basis today and it can be available with no intervention, straight from the vehicle telematics about the unique driver. BEST MOMENTS  ‘We really want to connect people with more ways to protect the things that they value, we want to close the global protection gap.'  ‘The more we make connections frictionless, the more the connection will happen and the more the protection gap will get closed.'‘ If the mission and the vision are super-well-known then nothing can distract you from solving that problem, regardless of what's going on in the marketplace around you.'‘ If a customer doesn't trust the use of AI in their interactions with you then AI won't be successful in that space because it won't be accepted in that space. Ultimately it comes back to do we do things the right way and give the customers a reason to trust us?' ABOUT THE GUEST Rob Schimek is Group Chief Executive Office at bolttech where he leads the team across its operations globally, overseeing its growth and partnership opportunities. With more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, Rob previously held senior leadership roles, including Managing Director & Group Chief Operating Officer for FWD Group, President and Chief Executive Officer of AIG's commercial insurance businesses worldwide, and Chief Executive Officer of the Americas for AIG.

Most entrepreneurs think hiring a Chief Financial Officer is only for big corporations, but that could not be further from the truth. Many small businesses are losing massive profits simply because they don't truly know their numbers. What if you could hire a part-time CFO to help you see what's really driving profit, cash flow, and scalability—without the full-time salary? In this episode, we sit down with Heather Parsons, a former Big Four accountant turned real estate investor and founder of a fractional CFO firm, to break down exactly what that means for founders and investors. Heather explains how most business owners rely on bookkeepers who look backward, while CFOs help you look forward—building dashboards, forecasts, and cash flow systems that lead to smarter decisions and consistent growth. You'll learn when to bring one in, how to know if you're ready, what it costs, and how this role can transform your business from reactive to proactive. If you're making money but still feel stuck in the weeds, guessing your numbers, or scaling without clarity, this conversation will show you how a fractional CFO can turn chaos into confidence and give you the financial control you've been missing. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
