When Kimberlee Duval arrived at Cymbiotika, the wellness company was preparing a leap few bootstrapped brands attempt—moving from direct-to-consumer to retail shelves. “Our two owners, Charlene and Shahab, have done everything direct,” she tells us. “They wanted to build an organization for the long term.” That resolve led the company to take on debt rather than private-equity money to fund its Sprouts launch in 2024. The risk paid off: Sprouts highlighted Cymbiotika's success in its quarterly earnings release, proof that intentional growth can outperform speed.Now, with products heading to 1,988 Target stores, Duval's finance team is focused on scaling without losing clarity. “We restructured the finance function to align with that growth strategy,” she tells us, pointing to centralized operations in NetSuite, expanded FP&A and cost accounting capabilities, and the creation of clear SOPs. Technology, she believes, is the enabler that keeps teams lean and insights sharp.“There's no reason to segregate between the groups,” she explains, describing her cross-channel approach to e-commerce and retail finance. AI tools and automated workflows now handle much of the transactional load, freeing her people to focus on analysis and collaboration.At the heart of her leadership philosophy is unity. “We're a team … with a common purpose and a common goal,” Duval tells us. That ethos—pairing disciplined systems with shared intent—continues to shape Cymbiotika's transformation from a digital wellness brand into a multichannel movement for intentional living.

Nach den Freisprüchen im Wiener Missbrauchsprozess herrscht Fassungslosigkeit im ganzen Land. Während die Regierung mit einer Verschärfung des Sexualstrafrechtes reagieren will, spricht die FPÖ von „billiger Ablenkung“ und warnt vor einer linken Kuscheljustiz. Doch das eigentliche Problem reicht tiefer: Der Staat versagt bei seinen Kernaufgaben – und zeigt gegenüber seinen eigenen Bürgern unnachgiebige Härte. Warum das aktuelle Urteil ein Sinnbild dieser Anarcho-Tyrannei ist, erläutert AUF1-Innenpolitik-Redakteur Philipp Huemer in seinem Kommentar aus Wien.

Und wie schätzt er die Chancen der FPÖ ein, den Kanzleranspruch auch einmal umsetzen zu können?Die Fragen stellen: Christina Traar „Kleine Zeitung“ und Hans Bürger ORF
En este episodio, José Lagunar trae una noticia doblemente positiva: los sistemas avanzados de ayuda a la conducción (ADAS) no solo previenen siniestros, también están creando empleo cualificado en los talleres. A partir de un estudio presentado por el fabricante tecnológico Bosch junto a FESVIAL (Proyecto “Vidas”), se analiza cómo la diagnosis, calibración y gestión de ADAS se han convertido en una línea de negocio de futuro para el sector y en una salida profesional clara para jóvenes que dudan entre FP o universidad, y para profesionales en activo que desean acreditar su experiencia. Claves del episodio • ADAS = seguridad + trabajo: la tecnología preventiva que evita accidentes abre una especialidad técnica con alta demanda en talleres. • Visión del sector: el 80% de los talleres encuestados ve los ADAS como proyecto de futuro, aunque exigen inversión inicial en equipamiento y formación. • Empleo real, inmediato: los titulados de Formación Profesional en módulos vinculados a electromecánica, electrónica y sistemas de seguridad encuentran trabajo nada más terminar. • Nuevos perfiles: técnicos en diagnosis, calibración de cámaras/radares/lidares, gestión de protocolos post-reparación, verificación en carretera y software. • Llamamiento institucional: desde el Ministerio de Educación se anima a comunicar y captar talento joven para estos módulos; ya existen itinerarios formativos específicos. • Acredita lo que ya sabes: los profesionales en activo pueden reconocer oficialmente su experiencia (vías de acreditación de competencias) y obtener un título con validez nacional/europea. • Itinerarios flexibles: FP de grado medio/superior + cursos de especialización + certificación de competencias = pasarela a empleo cualificado en España o fuera. • Impacto social: combinar concienciación en seguridad vial con oportunidades laborales es una vía eficaz para atraer y retener talento en el sector de la movilidad.

Send us a textEpisode 145: What happens when your FP&A team operates in isolation from the people actually running your business? Nothing good. The gap between finance and operations isn't just an organizational issue—it's a strategic vulnerability that could be costing your company significant competitive advantage.Bridging this divide creates transformative opportunities. When finance professionals develop deep partnerships with operations teams, forecasting becomes dramatically more accurate, resource allocation improves, and the organization gains agility to respond to market changes. This alignment doesn't happen accidentally—it requires intentional leadership and cultural development focused on building mutual trust.A well-aligned FP&A team operates as a true strategic partner rather than just a reporting function. They maintain a forward-looking mindset using forecasting, scenario analysis, and sensitivity testing to guide decisions instead of merely reporting historical results. Processes become streamlined, data grows more accurate, and finance professionals proactively engage with department leaders to translate strategy into measurable financial plans.The alternative? Disconnected financial plans, unrealistic budgets, inefficient resource allocation, and the inability to respond quickly to changing market conditions. Operations may pursue initiatives that don't reflect financial constraints, while finance imposes limitations without understanding operational needs. Communication breakdowns reduce trust, weaken decision-making, and ultimately erode competitiveness.Ready to transform this relationship in your organization? Start by developing a common language that translates finance terms into operational impacts. Build trust by providing insights that help operations succeed rather than just highlighting problems. Know the micro-details of the metrics you analyze, and be willing to step away from your desk to understand what's really driving performance. Remember: finance leaders have both the ethical and fiduciary responsibility to move the business forward through powerful partnerships.Episode outline:The benefits of properly strategically aligning your FP&A team,What happens when FP&A is not aligned, andA few steps to get started.Please connect with me on:1.

Zákon o fonde na podporu umenia ukladá povinnosť komunikovať so žiadateľmi, samosprávnymi krajmi aj kultúrnou obcou. Napriek tomu k výrazným zmenám dochádza bez varovania, za zatvorenými dverami a podľa umelcov aj v rozpore so zákonom.Neprešli ešte ani dva roky od nástupu ministerky kultúry Martiny Šimkovičovej a Fond na podporu umenia sa podarilo spolitizovať. Moninanti rezortu zmenili rozdelenie peňazí, s ktorými fond disponuje. Na priority ministerstva kultúry pôjde v budúcom roku sedem a pol milióna eur. Teda štvrtina celkového rozpočtu FPU.Pocítia to knižnice, nezávislé divadlá, galérie aj regionálne kulturné centrá.„Od minulého roka, kedy došlo k zmene zákona o FPÚ, prichádza k postupnému ovládnutiu verejnoprávnej nezávislej inštitúcie priamo ministerstvom kultúry. Tento bod, kedy dokumenty fondu pripravuje zamestnankyňa ministerstva, je toho zavŕšením," hovorí o zmenách vo fungovaní FPÚ Ľudovít Nápoký, koordinátor organizácie Anténa - sieť pre nezávislú kultúru.Počúvate Aktuality Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Kristína Braxatorová.

Every Board, investor, and potential acquirer is asking the same question: How are AI initiatives driving revenue? In episode #315, Ben Murray shares insights from his research into public tech companies and how they're defining and disclosing AI ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). Using Verint as a case study, Ben explains how companies are leveraging AI-driven ARR, tying it to measurable outcomes, and communicating adoption in a way that resonates with both Wall Street and buyers. You'll also hear how these disclosures may have supported Verint's recent multibillion-dollar acquisition by Thoma Bravo. If you're a SaaS or AI operator, this episode will help you define AI ARR, communicate adoption signals, and position your business model for higher valuation. What You'll Learn What AI ARR is and how to calculate it. Why public companies like Verint are breaking out AI ARR from total ARR. The mechanics: how finance teams identify AI-influenced products and SKUs. Quantitative + qualitative adoption signals (e.g., number of users leveraging AI features). Why AI ARR disclosures matter for investor metrics and exit valuations. How Thoma Bravo's acquisition of Verint shows the value of communicating AI initiatives. Why It Matters For SaaS & AI Leaders: Properly defining AI ARR helps show investors where new growth is coming from. For Finance Teams: Accurate reporting requires collaboration across accounting, product, and FP&A. For Investors: AI ARR signals measurable adoption and future revenue growth. For Valuation: Tying AI initiatives to financial outcomes increases credibility in fundraising and exit scenarios. Resources Mentioned Blog Post: How to Define AI ARR: https://www.thesaascfo.com/ai-arr-vs-saas-arr-how-to-define-and-calculate/ The SaaS Metrics Academy: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/ Quote from Ben “Don't just say you're building AI into your product — show investors how much ARR it's driving and what outcomes it's creating.”
Österreich ist nicht mehr nur schön und harmlos, Kaiserschmarrn und Kultur. Österreich ist instabil: Nur die Angst vor Herbert Kickl hält die Regierung zusammen, die Wirtschaft ist einer tiefen Krise, sicherheitspolitisch ist das Land Europas weiche Flanke. Österreich ist klein, aber explosiv. Herbert Kickl, Chef der Freiheitlichen Partei Österreichs (FPÖ) hat die Wahl im Herbst 2024 zwar gewonnen und nur Angst vor ihm haben sich die Wahlverlierer zu einer Regierung gegen ihn zusammengefunden. Doch Kickl hat zum Abschied gedroht: «Heute ist nicht aller Tage, ich komm' wieder keine Frage». Das ist ein Zitat aus der Zeichentrickserie «Pink Panther» und heute ein Erkennungssignal der Rechtsextremen. Österreich scheint wie immer zu sein: Kaiserschmarrn, Droschken, Sachertorte, Musik und Theater, noch immer mit etwas Glanz der königlich-kaiserlichen, der k.u.k. Monarchie. Ein Irrtum: In Tat und Wahrheit ist die Republik Österreich instabil: Zurzeit liegt Kickls FPÖ in den Umfragen bei 36%, ein Rekordwert. Seine Partei dominiert die sozialen Medien und erreicht einen Drittel der Bevölkerung mit eigenen Medien. Das moderne Österreich ist in der tiefsten Wirtschaftskrise seit seiner Unabhängigkeit vor genau 70 Jahren. Und sicherheitspolitisch drohe es «ein schwarzes Loch in Europa zu werden», warnen Militärs. Doch die ukrainische Grenze ist von Wien aus näher als Bregenz am Bodensee.

Mit 27 Jahren wurde Sebastian Kurz Außenminister, vier Jahre später Bundeskanzler – und heute ist er bereits Mitgründer eines Cybersecurity-Unicorns. In nicht mal 40 Jahren hat der Österreicher eine Karriere hingelegt, die ihresgleichen sucht. Im OMR Podcast spricht Sebastian Kurz über seinen Weg in die Politik, umstrittene Entscheidungen, wie die Koalition mit der rechtsextremen FPÖ, seine Arbeit für US-Investor Peter Thiel, die Gründung von Dream Security – und die Frage, wie man als Gast auf die Einladungsliste bei der teuersten Hochzeit der Welt kommt.
Von Michael Nikbakhsh. Teil 1 unserer Serie zu den Memoiren des Lobbyisten Peter Hochegger. Wir stellen diese ab dem 21. September auf allen großen Podcast-Plattformen frei zur Verfügung, über unseren Dunkelkammer-Kanal bei YouTube spielen wir die Aufzeichnung erstmals auch als Video aus. Die weiteren Episoden werden wir nach und nach veröffentlichen. Unsere Abonnentinnen und Abonnennten bei Steady und Apple Premium bekommen bereits am 21. September Zugang zu den ersten drei Episoden, vollständig und werbefrei. In dieser Episode blicken Stefan Kaltenbrunner und ich mit Peter Hochegger ein Stück weit in dessen Vergangenheit. Hochegger erzählt, wie er einst einer schlagenden Burschenschaft beitrat, weil dort die “wüderen Hund” waren, wie er dann der SPÖ beitrat, weil er Bruno Kreisky beeindruckend fand und wie er dann der FPÖ beitrat, weil er nicht zum Bundesheer wollte. Schon ganz am Anfang seiner Karriere begann Hochegger, die Öffentlichkeit zu manipulieren. Stets im Auftrag von Unternehmen, die stets im Verborgenen blieben. Übrigens: Die unternehmerische Karriere des Peter Hochegger begann mit der Scientology-Sekte. // Die Dunkelkammer ist ein Stück Pressefreiheit.

The dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development this year left countries scrambling, with many analysts going as far as calling the shutdown inhumane. But values were never the real driver of the global development agenda, says FP columnist Adam Tooze—it was actually about power. Now that the United States has stepped back, can China fill the void? Does it want to? Tooze sits down with host Ravi Agrawal to discuss his piece “The End of Development” in FP's latest print issue. Plus, One Thing from Ravi on the global connections to the Charlie Kirk killing.

Von Michael Nikbakhsh. Die 229. Ausgabe der Dunkelkammer markiert zugleich den Auftakt zu unserem kleinen Reigen rund um Peters Hocheggers Memoiren “Die Schattenrepublik”, die am 20. September im Verlag edition a erscheinen. Die Dunkelkammer begleitet das Erscheinen des Buches mit einer mehrteiligen Podcast-Serie, die wir ab dem 21. September nach und nach ausspielen. Für unsere Abonnenten und Abonnentinnen auf Steady und Apple Premium gibt es die ersten drei Episoden der Serie zur “Schattenrepublik” ab dem 21. September vorab zum Nachhören. Unabhängig davon gibt es erstmals auch Video-Mitschnitte der Podcast-Aufzeichnungen, die wir auf unserem YouTube-Kanal ausspielen werden, ebenfalls ab dem 21. September. Die “Schattenrepublik” ist ein sehr spezielles Buch, das viel über Korruption, Netzwerke und Eitelkeiten erzählt. Die Geschichten und Anekdoten, die Hochegger in seinen Memoiren aneinanderreiht, sind teils unglaublich, teils erschütternd und teils auch sehr lustig. Wir haben es bei Peter Hochegger jedenfalls mit einem erlebnisorientierten Opportunisten zu tun, der im Laufe seines Lebens überall da dabei war, wo Vorteile und/oder gute Geschäfte für ihn heraussprangen. Hochegger war schlagender Burschenschafter, er war Mitglied der SPÖ, er war Mitglied der FPÖ, er war Freimaurer und bei Scientology hat er auch mitgemacht. Man könnte das Buch „Die Schattenrepublik“ auch über mehrere Fragen erzählen: Was verbindet eine Scheinpartei namens „Österreich Partei“ mit den Hells Angels? Was verbindet den Rüstungshersteller Steyr Daimler Puch mit der Hainburger Au? Was haben die Zeckenimpfung, der Railjet und Ovomaltine gemeinsam? Und wer musste auf Wunsch von Walter Meischberger einst um 8000 Euro ein Abendessen mit Karl-Heinz und Fiona Grasser ersteigern? Die Antwort lautet immer: Peter Hochegger. Als Vorgeschmack auf das Buch gibt es eine Passage zum Nachhören, eingesprochen vom Journalisten und Puls4-Anchor Thomas Mohr, der uns seine wunderbare Stimme kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt hat – danke dafür! // Die Dunkelkammer ist ein Stück Pressefreiheit.

Touch the same piece of information more than twice – fix the workflow. That's the kind of CFO-meets-COO thinking we get into in this episode of The Handbook, where Harv sits down with Lindsey Head to connect the dots between finance, ops, tech, and people – and what really changes when you standardise how the business runs. Lindsey helped scale a PR agency from 5 to 125 people and $750k to $25m in revenue, leading finance, ops, HR, tech, legal and M&A along the way – so she's seen where the cracks form, and how to close them.Here's what we dive into:• The case for “non-billable” hires early – why dedicated new-business and ops roles pay for themselves, and a simple admin-as-%-of-revenue rule of thumb (aim for ~7–8%).• Systems thinking > shiny tools – map the ideal information flow first, then pick tech to automate it. If you're touching the same data repeatedly, the process is broken.• Change management that actually works – phase rollouts, involve users early, test, train, and measure adoption before you “go live.”• Multi-entity without the migraines – standardise what you can across entities, respect local nuance (currency, tax, PTO), and use partners/EORs when expanding fast.• Run the business by the numbers – utilisation, gross margin by client, and labour % tell the truth; AI can accelerate FP&A and reporting, but you still sanity-check the outputs.If you're feeling buried under tools, processes, and hiring questions, Lindsey's final nudge is simple: pause, map “how it's going” vs “how it should go,” and focus this quarter on the single change that unlocks the most leverage.Additional Resources:
Desde las guerras napoleónicas el tamaño de Rusia ha sido su mayor fortaleza estratégica. Pero ahora, con un tipo de guerra un tanto novedosa, Ucrania ha transformado esta ventaja en una debilidad mediante una campaña de bombardeos de largo alcance que explota la incapacidad rusa de proteger la totalidad de sus cielos. Desde el inicio de la guerra Ucrania ha atacado refinerías, pero esa campaña ha ido a más con el tiempo, especialmente en el último mes, cuando se han producido más de diez ataques contra el sistema de refino y distribución de petróleo. Esto no lo están consiguiendo con aviación convencional, sino con drones de desarrollo propio que pueden atacar en profundidad y disponen de software avanzado y gran poder destructivo. Según el gobierno ucraniano el 40% de este tipo de operaciones se han dirigido este año a refinerías, mientras que el resto ha apuntado a infraestructuras de almacenamiento y bombeo. Los ataques con drones han reducido hasta un 20% la capacidad de refino rusa. Eso equivale a más de un millón de barriles diarios. Para el esfuerzo de guerra la gasolina y, sobre todo, el gasóleo son fundamentales ya que los camiones de transporte y varios modelos de tanque tienen motores diesel. En las refinerías, las unidades de craqueo, difíciles de reemplazar con las sanciones occidentales, han sufrido daños importantes. Esa es la causa que hay detrás de la escasez de combustible, las largas colas en las estaciones de servicio y el incremento del 55% en el precio mayorista de la gasolina que se ha registrado desde principios de año. El Gobierno se ha visto obligado incluso a suspender temporalmente las exportaciones de gasolina. Si el ejército ucraniano mantiene este ritmo de ataques la capacidad del Kremlin para financiar las operaciones de guerra podría verse comprometida. El éxito ucraniano se debe en buena medida a un dron kamikaze, el FP-1, desarrollado íntegramente en Ucrania y operativo desde el mes de mayo. Tiene un alcance de 1.600 kilómetros, una ojiva que puede cargar hasta 120 kilos y un coste de 55.000 dólares por unidad, es decir, tres veces y media menos que el Shahed iraní que emplean los rusos. Con una producción de 100 unidades diarias, el FP-1 representa más de la mitad de los ataques que realiza Ucrania gracias a su alcance y a la precisión que posee en entornos de guerra electrónica. A los problemas en las refinerías se suman a otros muchos que arrastra la economía rusa desde hace meses. Este año la actividad económica no relacionada con la defensa ha entrado en recesión. El PIB ha crecido sólo un 0,1% en el segundo trimestre tras una caída del 0,6% en el primero. Las ventas de automóviles han caído un 30% en el primer semestre, y el índice de compras industrial está en su punto más bajo desde el comienzo de la guerra. En el sector financiero, VTB, el segundo banco más grande del país, ha informado de un aumento del 32% en los impagos de préstamos y una caída del 49% en ingresos por intereses. El sector inmobiliario tiene también problemas y 13 de las 78 mayores empresas de Rusia no pueden pagar sus deudas. Algunas sanciones, como el arancel del 25% de EEUU a India por comprar petróleo ruso, amenazan directamente los ingresos del Kremlin, cuyo presupuesto es muy dependiente de la exportación de hidrocarburos. Ciertas nacionalizaciones de activos, como una muy sonada del aeropuerto moscovita de de Domodedovo en junio, revelan que están empezando a tomar medidas desesperadas para financiar el déficit. Estos problemas económicos podrían forzar a Putin a sentarse en la mesa de negociaciones antes de que la situación empeore.

Se divide en dos ciclos: de 0 a 3 años y de 3 a 6 años. El segundo ciclo suele ser gratuito en centros públicos. Educación Primaria (6-12 años): Es obligatoria y gratuita. Dura seis cursos académicos y se organiza en tres ciclos de dos años cada uno. Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) (12-16 años): También obligatoria y gratuita. Consta de cuatro cursos. Al finalizar, los estudiantes obtienen el título de Graduado en Educación Secundaria. Bachillerato (16-18 años): Es voluntario, pero necesario para acceder a la universidad. Dura dos años y ofrece varias modalidades: Ciencias, Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, y Artes. Formación Profesional (FP): Alternativa al Bachillerato. Hay FP de grado básico, medio y superior. Prepara para el mundo laboral con un enfoque más práctico. Educación Universitaria: Se accede tras el Bachillerato y la prueba de acceso (EBAU o “Selectividad”). Las carreras suelen durar 4 años (Grado), con posibilidad de continuar con un Máster (1-2 años) y luego un Doctorado. Método de enseñanza En general, el sistema educativo español combina teoría y práctica, aunque con un enfoque tradicional en muchas asignaturas. En los últimos años se ha promovido el aprendizaje por competencias, el trabajo en equipo y el uso de tecnologías digitales. Los profesores suelen seguir un currículo nacional, aunque cada comunidad autónoma tiene cierta autonomía para adaptarlo. Las clases son mayoritariamente presenciales, con evaluaciones continuas y exámenes finales. Coste de la educación Educación pública: Es gratuita en las etapas obligatorias. Las familias solo pagan materiales, libros y, en algunos casos, comedor o actividades extraescolares. Educación concertada: Centros privados con financiación pública. Suelen pedir una “aportación voluntaria” mensual. Educación privada: Totalmente financiada por las familias. Los precios varían mucho según el centro. Universidad: Las universidades públicas tienen tasas asequibles en comparación con otros países europeos. El coste medio por curso ronda entre 700 y 2.000 euros, dependiendo de la carrera y la comunidad autónoma. Elección de carrera universitaria Al terminar el Bachillerato, los estudiantes realizan la EBAU (Evaluación del Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad). Esta prueba, junto con la nota media del Bachillerato, determina la nota de corte para acceder a cada carrera. Cada universidad y cada grado tiene una nota mínima de acceso, que varía cada año según la demanda. Por ejemplo, Medicina suele tener notas de corte muy altas, mientras que otras carreras como Historia o Filosofía tienen requisitos más bajos. Becas y ayudas El Ministerio de Educación y las comunidades autónomas ofrecen becas para estudiantes de todos los niveles. Las más comunes son: Becas generales: Para estudios postobligatorios (Bachillerato, FP, universidad). Cubren matrícula, transporte, material, etc. Becas de movilidad: Para estudiantes que estudian fuera de su comunidad autónoma. Becas Erasmus+: Para cursar parte de los estudios universitarios en otro país europeo. Ayudas específicas: Para estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales o en situación económica vulnerable. Las becas se conceden en función de la renta familiar y del rendimiento académico. Otros aspectos importantes Lenguas cooficiales: En comunidades como Cataluña, Galicia o el País Vasco, la enseñanza se imparte también en la lengua cooficial (catalán, gallego o euskera). Educación para adultos: Existen centros específicos para personas mayores de 18 años que desean obtener títulos oficiales o continuar su formación. Educación especial: Hay recursos y centros adaptados para estudiantes con discapacidad o necesidades educativas especiales.

Plus, One Thing from Ravi on South Korea's latest soft power hit, KPop Demon Hunters. Ravi Agrawal: Is America Now Merely the First Among Equals? Emma Ashford: Passing the Baton in Europe Stephen M.

How do finance leaders enable growth while fostering a culture of partnership, positivity, and saying yes? In this episode, CJ interviews Ed Park, Head of FP&A at Facebook during its explosive hypergrowth years, Head of Finance and Internal Operations at Asana, the current CFO of Daffy, and a “glass-half-full” finance leader. Ed shares stories about working at Facebook in the early days, how he brought finance into the company's engineering and product-first culture, and how he built trust while navigating rapid user and infrastructure expansion. He talks about his role at Asana, why the company plans in episodes, not quarters, how they discovered their unique “three user” metric, and how they transitioned from bottoms-up to sales-led growth. Ed also gives an introduction to donor-advised funds and how Daffy, his current company, is disrupting this field. The conversation covers how a company's business model shapes its destiny, finding the balance between what's urgent and what's important, and Ed's glass-half-full approach to being a finance leader who enables teams by saying yes.—LINKS:Edward Park on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwardyparkDaffy: https://www.daffy.orgCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: RELATED EPISODES:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor — —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:16) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(06:43) Ed's First Job at a Startup: Head of FP&a at Facebook(11:35) Bringing Finance Into an Engineering and Product-Led Culture(16:42) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(20:34) Balancing What Was Urgent Versus Important(25:02) Monetizing Facebook(26:48) Becoming a Glass-Half-Full Finance Leader(33:27) Managing Four Chefs at Asana(35:38) How Asana Plans in Episodes, Not Quarters(42:48) Monetization Model Intuition and the “Three User” Metric(48:13) Transitioning From Bottoms-Up to Proactive Sales at Asana(53:24) Daffy's Monetization Model and Donor-Advised Fund Innovation(57:34) How a Business Model Shapes Destiny(1:00:02) Ed's “How Might We” Approach to Being a CFO(1:01:56) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Big Mistake(1:04:38) Advice to Younger Self(1:05:44) Finance Software Stack(1:07:57) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Aleph automates 90% of manual, error-prone busywork, so you can focus on the strategic work you were hired to do.

Are AI bank feeds helping—or just creating more work? Blake and David unpack Intuit's missteps, why “use AI to make the rules” matters, and how a no‑code agent now posts multi‑line bills to Xero.

The pivot began when Jim Rogers raised his hand. Groupon was shifting from mobile daily deals to a goods business in Europe, and—still early in his career—he volunteered to help lead the finance work. That step, he tells us, bridged his path from technical accounting into FP&A and set a pattern: seek out the build stage, then make finance a partner to the business.Rogers started in audit at Ernst & Young before moving through technical accounting and controllership into planning. He earned a master's in accounting at Northern Illinois University to qualify for the CPA, he tells us. At Groupon, he advanced to head of FP&A for North America, experience that informed his philosophy at Tempus AI: “we're not here to report the news,” he says—finance should enable decisions.Joining Tempus in 2017 as the first finance hire—when the company was pre-revenue, he tells us—Rogers built the function, became CFO in 2021, and helped steer the company public. He also stood up investor relations, initially outsourcing the function before bringing it in-house by the end of 2021, he tells us, investing time to educate analysts on a business that spans multiple categories.AI runs through Tempus's work. Externally, a physician portal (“positive”) and the researcher tool “Lens” aim to make diagnostics and data more useful. Internally, large language models sift “hundreds of petabytes of data,” Rogers tells us, and surface real-time finance insights. The strategic throughline is discipline: double down on oncology, keep pilots siloed, and expand only when the core is ready—because, as he notes, “no two days are alike.”

What do FP&A professionals need to understand about data work and BI and the work that BI is doing? Marcos Bento, Director BI, at Wasabi Technologies: “They need to translate business requests in English in a way that the BI folks can translate that into codes. That's where the magic happens.” In part two of our deep dive with Marcos Bento (BI) and David Suter (FP&A) from Wasabi Technologies, we explore the execution side of their successful data partnership. In this episode: Our 130-Iteration Journey: Net retention metric evolution Cost per dollar of new ARR (and how settled on it) Storytelling across technical and executive audiences Lean team compositions (4-person FP&A, 5-person BI) Power of the problem solving skillset in our hiring
In this Planning Aces special, three finance leaders map how AI is moving FP&A from dashboards to decisions. Andrew Casey (Amplitude) shows agents automating analytics, experiments, and order-to-cash checks to democratize insight and speed action. Eric Brown (Cohesity) contrasts AI's capital intensity with the cloud era and spotlights an “epic data battle” where privileged datasets drive advantage. Chris Miorin (APEX Analytix) links on-prem investment and clean data to faster product velocity. Co-host Brett Knowles ties it together: avoid AI-washing; structure data; target reconciliations and cycle-time compression; and lead with outcomes. Viewpoints, AI's value depends on governance, access, and execution discipline.
