In dieser Folge von „Beyond the Edge – dem Media-Campaigning-Podcast“ ist Leonore Gewessler, Ex-Klimaschutzministerin und seit Juni 2025 Bundessprecherin & Klubobfrau der Grünen, zu Gast. Leonore erklärt, warum für sie gilt: „Politik ist am Ende Kommunikation“ – und was das konkret heißt, wenn man Klimaticket, Pfandsystem oder EU-Naturschutzgesetz nicht nur verhandeln, sondern auch verständlich erklären und mehrheitsfähig machen will. Wir sprechen darüber, warum positive Emotionalisierung („Lust auf Veränderung“) stärker ist als Angst, und weshalb ohne Social Media heute keine wirksame Change-Kommunikation mehr möglich ist. Außerdem erzählt Leonore, wie sie mit Desinformation und der FPÖ als „Problembewirtschaftungspartei“ umgeht, warum Zuhören am Tisch ohne Mikro manchmal politisch wirksamer ist als jede Bühne – und welche Rolle Tierschutz, Biodiversität und Bodenschutz in ihrem Verständnis von Transformation spielen.

In this episode of Planning Aces, we spotlight FP&A insights from three CFOs leading innovation with discipline: Chris Sands (InvoiceCloud), Steve Sutter (Celigo), and Niels Boon (Cint). Each shares how finance is shaping AI, go-to-market models, and data-driven transformation without losing rigor. From building an “AI Ops” function and embedding finance in sales strategy, to piloting AI tools in small, staged experiments, these leaders treat innovation as a managed process. Our resident thought leader joins to connect the dots, emphasizing structure, clear metrics, and portfolio thinking as the new essentials of FP&A.Chris Sands leans into organizational design, reallocating talent into a formal AI Ops team and emphasizing change champions.Steve Sutter focuses on commercial mechanics, tying FP&A to sales economics, talent mix, and scale-up guardrails.Niels Boon emphasizes risk-staged innovation, using small pilots for operational wins while ring-fencing bold synthetic-data bets as long-horizon R&D.

Runway is building FP&A software that solves what Siqi Chen calls "the impossible problem"—matching Excel's speed and flexibility for thinking while functioning as an enterprise finance platform. In this episode of The Front Lines, wew sat down with Siqi to unpack Runway's mischief marketing playbook, why they enriched hot sauce pre-orders for lead gen, and how they're implementing AI as a coworker rather than a copilot. Topics Discussed: The unit economics behind the Burn Rate hot sauce campaign: $40K spend, 5K pre-orders, millions of views  How Siqi justifies creative marketing spend as CEO and CFO: downside scenarios must break even, upside gets uncapped returns  Naval's prescient 2020 advice: don't call it CFO AI because "everything's going to be AI anyway"  Why finance buyers completely flipped on AI in 24 months—from indifferent to requiring it  The three emotional triggers that drive FP&A tool adoption: frustration, resentment, anxiety  Runway's approach to competing with Excel by changing abstraction layers, not features  Building AI as a coworker (Ari) that lives in Slack, email, and comments—not a sidebar  Why proof-of-human marketing compounds in value as AI slop becomes the baseline GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Model creative campaigns like venture bets with downside protection: Siqi's framework: $40K for 200 hot sauces wrapped with $100 bills equals 1.5 deals to break even at mid-five-figure ACVs. But the real play was generating 5,000 pre-orders, enriching the top 200, and converting ICP matches at "well above 1%" into pipeline. The math ensures you don't lose money in downside scenarios while creative execution delivers uncapped upside. For B2B founders: calculate your break-even deal count, then structure campaigns where lead gen mechanics provide a safety net under the brand play. Hire for proof of work, not creative credentials: When Cal (Taika co-founder) cold-emailed Siqi with designed mockups of Burn Rate hot sauce and Runway jerseys, that was the interview. Siqi was already a Taika customer who remembered the 415 phone number branding on the can. His advice: "There's no better resume than someone saying 'hey, I submitted a pull request' or 'here's some designs.'" For creative roles especially, evaluate the artifacts directly rather than filtering through credentials or pitches about what they could do. Sell to emotion-driven active searchers, not satisfied users: Runway identified three specific emotions that trigger FP&A software searches: frustration (manually pulling from 20+ data sources monthly, copy-pasting QuickBooks exports), resentment (department heads treating finance requests as "the stupid form" and ignoring deadlines), and anxiety (one error in 10 million Google Sheets cells breaks the entire model). These aren't rational pain points—they're emotional breaking points that drive active solution-seeking. Don't build go-to-market around convincing satisfied Excel users. Instead, optimize for discovery when these specific emotions converge. Treat abstraction changes as category creation opportunities: Siqi explains Airtable's success came from changing Excel's abstraction from cell to row, enabling databases and applications. Runway's insight: business planning requires abstraction changes that Excel can't provide—specifically treating the model as a "game engine" or "simulation of a business" rather than a spreadsheet. The category emerged from that technical insight, not from marketing positioning. For technical founders: identify where your abstraction layer change creates fundamentally new capabilities, then let category definition follow from customer language around those capabilities. Time creative marketing to buyer perception shifts: Two years ago, Runway demoed AI features to leads who "didn't care at all." Today, buyers "don't care what the AI feature is, they just care that it's AI"—a complete flip. Meanwhile, Runway's competitors use .ai domains while Runway uses .com, creating unexpected differentiation. The lesson: buyer perception of emerging technologies follows unpredictable curves. Creative marketing that feels early can land perfectly if timed to perception inflection points. Track not just technology maturity but buyer discourse and demand signals to time creative bets. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Send us a textEpisode # 150: Leadership in finance isn't a title—it's a practice. We dive into what turns any role in accounting, FP&A, or audit into a force for strategic impact, starting with the four pillars that anchor meaningful change: influence, grow your people, deliver results, and see the future. Along the way, we unpack how to turn data into decisions, build trust with senior leaders, and convert operational friction—like a chaotic month end—into a reliable, learning-driven process.We start by reframing influence as earned alignment. You'll hear how to show up with validated numbers, a sharp point of view, and a concise ask that respects executive time. Then we get practical about developing talent: mentoring for strategic thinking, cross-training on the business model, and running blameless reviews that raise the team's ceiling. Execution takes center stage with tactics to speed the close, improve forecast accuracy, and translate variances into action. Finally, we step into forward-looking leadership—tracking external signals that matter, setting crisp scenarios, and aligning decisions to both profitability and purpose.If you're ready to elevate your impact, this conversation will help you become the partner your organization needs: people-centered, data-driven, and ethically grounded. Please connect with me on:1.

Na mañá de hoxe confirmouse que a carreira de vehículos eléctricos deseñados por alumnado de FP da Galicia, a Barreiros E-Motion FP – A Estrada Urban Race, prevista para o xoves 13 de novembro na contorna do Pavillón Polideportivo Manuel Coto Ferreiro en A Estrada, queda cancelada debido ao empeoramento previsto das condicións meteorolóxicas. “Decideuse adiar a proba polas previsións de vento forte, choiva e posibles incidencias na seguridade”. “O evento vaise a realizar nunha data na vindeira primavera”. “O importante é contribuír á formación técnica, á mobilidade sustentable e á convivencia entre centros” A iniciativa, organizada polo Centro Galego de Innovación da Formación Profesional Eduardo Barreiros e promovida pola Xunta de Galicia, tiña como obxectivo reunir equipos de distintos centros de formación profesional para competir nun circuíto urbano con prototipos eléctricos realizados e pilotados polo propio alumnado. Do programa orixinal, lembramos que a proba tiña previsto o seu inicio ás 11:00 horas e consistía nunha carreira de resistencia dunha hora de duración, na que os equipos tratarían de completar o maior número de voltas nun circuíto con vehículos tipo monopraza eléctricos, deseñados, fabricados e conducidos por eles mesmos. Dado o carácter educativo e innovador da actividade, o seu aplazamento supón un revés para o alumnado participante, mais desde a organización aseguran que non se perde o espírito do proxecto. Permanecemos atentos ás novas relativas á nova data e emprazamos aos participantes, centros e público interesado a seguir os canais oficiais para coñecer a confirmación do novo calendario. ️ "SUSCRÍBETE" ao podcast MÁIS ENTREVISTAS: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-salta-da-cama_sq_f1323089_1.html Máis Información e outros contidos: ✔️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PabloChichas ✔️Twitter: https://twitter.com/pablochichas ✔️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pablochichas/ ✔️Clubhouse: @pablochichas ✔️Twich: https://www.twitch.tv/pablochichas

Marco's candid reflections move beyond generic AI discussions to pinpoint what actually saves money, emphasizing the importance of getting digital transformation right and building team mindsets that embrace technology. The conversation explores the practicalities of starting the AI journey, including improving transactional systems and data quality, as well as how AI enables FP&A teams to shift from data crunching to value-adding activities. Marco further reveals that while AI projects haven't yet drastically reduced headcount, they empower teams to deliver faster, more adaptive business forecasts and partner more effectively with the business. Listeners gain actionable insights on risk analysis, business partnering, and future-proofing the finance function in an era of rapid technological change. Key topics covered: Mindset change is the hardest aspect of finance digital transformation Accurate, clean data is critical for successful AI adoption and savings AI enables finance teams to spend less time crunching numbers, more time adding value Savings are real when AI is applied to transactional and repetitive processes AI leads to more frequent, adaptive forecasting and better business partnering Boardroom strategy discussions increasingly focus on AI-driven transformation Links Marco Torrente on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps 03:57 Overcoming mindset challenges in tech and finance teams 07:45 How clean data and smart choices spark successful AI projects 14:48 Impact of AI on workflows—shifting FP&A from data crunching to insights 18:16 Balancing business strategy with transformation and risk 26:15 Real savings and workforce impact: redeployment not just reduction 30:04 Future plans, ongoing learning, and actionable advice 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.

Österreich findet nicht aus dem Krisenmodus, und die Regierung hüllt sich in Schweigen. Lebensmittel und Energie werden zum Luxus, die Arbeitslosigkeit steigt seit fast drei Jahren kontinuierlich an, die heimische Industrie kämpft ums Überleben. Aussicht auf baldige Besserung? Fehlanzeige. Mittlerweile schätzt die Hälfte der Österreicher ihre finanzielle Lage als schlecht ein, und die Unzufriedenheit mit der Regierung ist groß: In Umfragen liegt die FPÖ nicht nur unangefochten vorn, sondern legt sogar noch weiter zu. Ist die Dreierkoalition den Herausforderungen tatsächlich nicht gewachsen? Oder arbeitet sie im Hintergrund an nachhaltigen Konzepten? Haben unsere Politiker überhaupt noch Kontakt zur Lebensrealität der Menschen? Und wann geht Österreich endlich wieder auf Kurs in Richtung einer positiven Zukunft?

• Objetivo del episodio: orientar a estudiantes y familias sobre qué estudiar para trabajar en automoción y movilidad (desde escuela a posgrado), con Alberto Martínez (docente y autor de materiales) y José Lagunar. • Dónde se puede estudiar “motor/movilidad” o Escuela: en EF (uso seguro de bici/patinete; educación peatonal) y en Física (fuerzas, aceleraciones aplicadas a vehículos) y Geografía/Historia (sector automoción en economía). o FP: tres niveles (Básica, Grado Medio, Grado Superior). o Universidad: grados de ingeniería y otras ramas con aplicaciones en movilidad. o Posgrado: másteres/cursos de especialización. • Claves de la FP (y por qué elegirla) o Ha dejado de ser el “patito feo”: alta empleabilidad y salarios competitivos; entrada rápida al mercado (17–22 años). o Experiencia práctica temprana y foco en contenidos aplicados; sirve como puente a la Universidad con mejor base y madurez. o Déficits reales de talento: faltan mecánicos, chapistas y conductores; contratación casi inmediata al titular. o Parque móvil envejecido (≈14,5 años) ⇒ demanda sostenida de mantenimiento y carrocería pese a ADAS. • Cambio normativo FP (desde 2024) o Se mantienen niveles (Básica/GM/GS) y edades de acceso, pero la FP pasa a un modelo modular con Certificados de Profesionalidad (“fascículos”) que permiten titular por etapas y combinar módulos hasta completar el ciclo. • Familias profesionales relevantes 1. Transporte y Mantenimiento de Vehículos: mecánica, carrocería/chapistería, conducción, etc.  Incidencia: el GM de conducción puede terminarse a los 18, pero hay desfase de edad/licencia para ciertos permisos. 2. Servicios Socioculturales y a la Comunidad: FPGS en Movilidad Segura y Sostenible (antes habilitación DGT).  Habilita para roles como profesor/director de autoescuela, formador permiso por puntos, formador CAP, etc.  Alta empleabilidad: “no hay suficientes profesores de autoescuela”. • Certificados/microcualificaciones en Movilidad Segura y Sostenible (acumulables) o Profesor de formación vial. o Educador vial. o Consultor de movilidad segura y sostenible para ayuntamientos/empresas. o Permiten compatibilizar estudios con trabajo y escalar hasta el título completo en 2–5 años. • Rol de la informática/TIC en automoción o Oportunidades en desarrollo de apps (p. ej., Android Automotive), ciberseguridad vehicular y software embarcado. o Perfiles que sepan IA + automoción son “caramelo” con muy buena remuneración; caminos desde FP de Desarrollo o Ing.

Send us a textEpisode  #149: Month-end doesn't have to feel like a rolling emergency. We walk through a proven, blame-free framework—the U.S. Army's After Action Review—to turn your close into a reliable, data-driven process that gets faster and more accurate every cycle. If your calendar is packed and bottlenecks keep returning, this is the practical reset your team needs.We start by reframing performance reviews as a leadership habit that compounds. Then we break down the AAR into three simple stages: plan, prepare, execute. You'll learn how to define clear success metrics for close, set roles and handoffs, and create a safe environment where facts matter more than opinions. We show how to gather evidence during the cycle—timelines, task logs, error heat maps—so the review pinpoints root causes and turns observations into action.From there, we dive into the backbone of a modern close: standardized processes, integrated systems, and tools that truly enable collaboration. Expect concrete ideas for automating data flow, reducing manual entries, and mapping end-to-end dependencies. We share ways to align accounting and FP&A early, cut late reclasses, and measure progress with a focused KPI set: close duration, on-time tasks, aged reconciliations, and post-close entries.Episode outline:The U.S. Army's After-Action Review process,Let's always focus on processes, systems, and tools, andUsing the After-Action Review system to evaluate our month-end close procedures.Please connect with me on:1.

The conversation explores the role of finance in driving change, overcoming bureaucracy, and enhancing organizational agility, offering practical advice on managing fear, facilitating change, and improving communication and engagement within teams.00:00 Introduction to Agile Tales00:44 Transforming Financial Planning02:12 Challenges of Leadership Changes02:50 Empowering Organizational Change05:18 Finance Team's Reaction to Change08:28 Improving Communication and Processes10:04 Addressing Risk and Fear in Finance12:06 Overcoming Traditional Finance Barriers16:15 Leading Change from Within20:08 Advice for Finance and Non-Finance Teams26:09 Conclusion and Upcoming Episode TeaserNevine's insights highlight that there's no one-size-fits-all playbook for financial agility.

She is a Senior VP of Finance at Greater Technology Together and a member of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table. Nevine has spent nearly two decades guiding organizations through the shift from rigid annual budgets to adaptive, rolling financial frameworks that enable true business agility.About Nevine White:Beginning her 35-year career in telecom engineering, Nevine went on to lead the FP&A function at TW Telecom for 2 decades. There, she championed powerful changes in financial planning that enabled an agile and effective management structure by eliminating traditional budgets. After the company's sale, Nevine continued this work with Live Future Ready, leveraging her experience to support organizations in their financial transformation efforts across various industries. In 2019, Nevine joined Hargray Communications Group as the VP of Accounting, before taking on building the Finance and Administrative functions for a broadband start-up. She is currently the Senior Vice President of Finance at Greater Technology Together, a leading network and security-as-a-service firm. Recognized for her experience in finance, agility, and team building, she has been featured at conferences and on podcasts. She enjoys sharing her learnings and experiences with anyone seeking to change and enable their teams meaningfully. You can follow Nevine on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nevinewhite/Podcast music courtesy of www.purple-planet.comVisit us at https://www.ouragiletales.com/about

Im Herbst 2021 wird die FPÖ in Graz von einem Finanzskandal erschüttert. 1,8 Millionen Euro Steuergeld sind verschwunden. Alexis Pascuttini steigt damals überraschend zum Klubschef in Graz auf und will herauszufinden, was mit den Millionen passiert ist. Doch seine Nachforschungen stoßen auf Widerstand – in der Partei und in seiner Verbindung. In Folge fünf zeichnen wir nach, wie es für Walter Rosenkranz indes karrieretechnisch steil bergauf geht: 2022 tritt er als Bundespräsidentschaftskandidat an. Gewählt wird er erwartungsgemäß nicht. Aber zwei Jahre später kommt für ihn die ganz große Chance: Die FPÖ wird stärkste Kraft in Österreich und Rosenkranz darf den Posten des ersten Nationalratspräsidenten besetzen. Sobald er im Amt ist, folgt ein Skandal auf den nächsten. In dieser Folge zu hören: Alexis Pascuttini (Rechtsanwalt, Gemeinderat in Graz, früher FPÖ, heute "Korruptionsfreier Gemeinderatsklub"), Colette Schmidt (Innenpolitikredakteurin beim STANDARD), Sandra Schieder (Innenpolitikredakteurin beim STANDARD), Bini Guttmann (Rechtsanwalt, Aktivist), Fabian Schmid (Leitender Redakteur Investigativ beim STANDARD), Bernhard Weidinger (Politikwissenschafter, Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstands); Moderation und Skript: Lucia Heisterkamp und Antonia Rauth; Redaktion: Käthe Bergmann, Benjamin Braden, Zsolt Wilhelm; Produktion: Philipp Fackler

Während Finnland und Schweden nach der russischen Invasion in der Ukraine ihre Neutralität rasch aufgegeben haben, findet in Österreich kaum eine Debatte statt. Den dramatischen sicherheitspolitischen Verschiebungen auf dem Kontinent kann sich allerdings auch unser Land nicht entziehen. Der ehemalige Verteidigungsminister Friedhelm Frischenschlager (anfangs FPÖ, später Liberales Forum) fordert seit Jahren, dass die Neutralität ad acta gelegt wird. Politikwissenschaftler Heinz Gärtner plädiert hingegen für eine neue, engagierte Neutralitätspolitik. Eine Debatte des Bündnis 2025, moderiert von Alexandra Föderl-Schmidt. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of STRAT, we examine Ukraine's FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile — a potentially game-changing long-range weapon now entering serial production. Retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer walks through reported production rates, propulsion sourcing, warhead capabilities, and the strategic implications for Russian infrastructure and morale. We unpack claims about range, cost, and manufacturing scale; evaluate targets that suddenly fall within reach (refineries, rail chokepoints, weapons factories, command nodes); and consider how lower-cost mass production could reshape procurement and battlefield calculus. Discussion covers export and supply-chain angles, the possible US interest in the design or cost efficiencies, and political risks for Moscow if strikes reach population centers. Listeners will gain a clearer sense of how Flamingo changes deep-strike dynamics, what vulnerabilities Russia might face, and why industrialized, affordable cruise missiles matter to future warfare and deterrence. We end with policy options and scenarios.Takeaways:· Flamingo (FP-5) reportedly offers ~3,000 km range — deep-strike game changer.· Production is scaling quickly; Ukraine moving toward mass production capacity.· Unit cost reportedly far lower than US Tomahawk, enabling volume use.· Engines and components sourced creatively — raises proliferation and supply-chain questions.· Warhead options include bunker buster and cluster bomb units — wide target set.· 80–90% of Russian industrial targets could be within Flamingo range.· Strategic effects: strikes on refineries, rail, and weapons factories carry political risk for Moscow.· Wider implication: affordable cruise missiles could alter future procurement, deterrence, and escalation dynamics.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #FlamingoMissile #FP5Flamingo #UkrainianCruiseMissile #LongRangeStrike #DeepStrikeCapability #FirePoint #MissileProduction #LowCostCruise #CruiseMissileProliferation #RussianVulnerabilities #EnergyTargets #RailChokepoints #WarheadPenetration #PropulsionSourcing #MassedPrecisionFires #GeopoliticalConsequences

Er wollte dabei helfen, einen Skandal in der FPÖ aufzudecken. Hunderttausende Euro sollen veruntreut worden sein. Er hat sich gegen einen Kollegen gestellt, der Kinderpornos konsumierte, und er wollte auch keine Drogengeschäfte vertuschen. Am Ende wurde er aus der Partei geworfen. Ich habe Anfang Oktober mit dem Anwalt und Politiker Alexis Pascuttini darüber gesprochen, was im Grazer Finanzskandal der FPÖ passiert ist, wieso er glaubt, dass die Partei alles tut, um die Wahrheit zu begraben. Und er erklärt, wieso er als einst glühender Blauer, die Partei von Herbert Kickl heute nicht mehr wählen würde. Was haltet ihr von diesem Format? Sollen wir künftig öfter Personen zu Wort kommen lassen, die Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen ganz subjektiv aus ihrer Sicht erzählen? Schreibt uns in den Kommentaren!

Einmal im Jahr treffen sich FPÖ-Politiker und Burschenschafter zum Akademikerball in der Wiener Hofburg. Feiern, Tanzen, Networking – der Termin zeigt wie kein anderes Ereignis die Nähe der Partei zu den Burschenschaften. Doch wie weit reichen die Seilschaften wirklich? Wurde die FPÖ von den schlagenden Studentenverbindungen unterwandert? Alexis Pascuttini kennt die Verflechtungen aus erster Hand. Der ehemalige Corpsbruder und FPÖ-Politiker beschreibt in Folge vier seinen Aufstieg in der Grazer FPÖ – und erinnert sich an den Moment, als ihm klar wurde, wie weit der Einfluss der Studentenverbindungen reicht.

She starts with tape from the field, not the spreadsheet. Listening to enterprise sales calls, Amy Foo heard customers whose usage rose and fell with seasons. Fixed per-seat pricing “wasn't quite hitting the mark,” she tells us, so she piloted a pooled-seat model that flexed monthly within an annual commitment—turning smaller clips into “one to five million” deals and lifting revenue “six to seven times per customer,” she tells us.That instinct—to meet the customer where they are—threads through her journey. Early at Zendesk, she was “employee number one in the region,” handling FP&A, accounting, taxes, and team-building as the business scaled, she tells us. Trust won her a dual path: SVP of Global Finance Operations (deal desk, billings, shared services) and APAC managing director, aligning teams across seven countries, she tells us. Mentors' unvarnished feedback helped her shed imposter syndrome and lead without geographic ceilings.Today at Ignition, she reduces complexity to a few levers—ARR, payments volume, cash flow—and aligns accordingly, she tells us. She monitors top-of-funnel quality and pipeline coverage daily to steer marketing spend and sales motions, she tells us. On pricing, she watches what customers pay and repackages value by segment, she tells us. She leads with customer insight, she tells us.As for AI, she calls it “not a magic pill,” advocating first for AI built into existing vendors, then new tools where capabilities are missing, she tells us. Finance, after all, is “about narrative and conviction”—numbers that move people to act, she tells us.

Send us a textEpisode #147: Too many finance teams are stuck formatting data while the decisions fly by. We tackle a smarter way to work: build capacity by aligning effort to strategy, automating the grind, and developing the skills that turn reports into results. Stephen McLean walks through a practical approach for FP&A and accounting leaders who want to shield their teams from noise, prioritize what matters, and partner with IT to unlock automation without a costly tech overhaul. The focus is simple—reduce friction, raise insight, and spend more time advising than assembling.We start with clarity: how to map every role and deliverable to a strategic objective, choose the leading indicators that actually drive action, and say no to work that doesn't move the needle. From there, we dig into process and systems—standardizing inputs, automating routine pulls and reconciliations, and using collaborative workspaces so knowledge isn't trapped in inboxes. Along the way, we challenge the culture of daily fire drills and offer a guardrail: route ad-hoc requests through a priority gate so the team's best hours aren't lost to random tasks.Finally, we talk people. Coaching time management, building stronger analysis and storytelling skills, and running short, focused development sprints can transform morale and output. A tighter partnership with IT helps you ship quick wins—scheduled queries, clean templates, and self-serve dashboards—that free analysts to interpret trends and shape choices. Expect clear takeaways you can apply this week: an audit of calendars and tasks, a skills plan that sticks, and an automation backlog that delivers measurable time back.Episode outline:Clarify priorities and align with strategic goals,Leverage tools and automation, andBuild capacity through development.Please connect with me on:1.

“InvoiceCloud is not just payments,” Chris Sands tells us. Sitting inside the company's finance organization, he sees a platform built to change habits—helping businesses shift customers from paper invoices and mailed checks to fully digital transactions. The success metric, he adds, is simple: “Do more of their customers stop receiving paper invoices, stop mailing in checks, and do both of those things digitally?”That clear yardstick reflects how Sands thinks about growth. He describes a foundation rooted in existing customers even as the broader economy accelerates toward digital payment adoption. Utilities and insurers remain core markets, yet new verticals, such as consumer finance, beckon. Each expansion, he notes, must rest on data that confirms user behavior is truly changing.Inside finance, Sands has built what he calls a Strategic Finance function to mirror that discipline. The group handles special projects and, increasingly, AI initiatives—efforts he says once fell entirely within FP&A. Now they stand on their own “leg of the stool,” amplifying how finance supports innovation.That mindset extends beyond the department. Sands helped stand up an AI Ops team—an internal SWAT group that guides employees exploring AI tools. Instead of experimenting in isolation, staff can bring use cases to the team for help. For Sands, finance's role is to stay analytical amid the excitement: “We can add more value … by helping the rest of the org with [AI] and using our finance skill set to understand where the best opportunities to create business value exist.”

Aus Burschenschaften dringt wenig nach außen. Sie sind verschworene Männerbünde, die großen Wert auf Diskretion legen. Doch ausgerechnet die Burschenschaft, bei der Walter Rosenkranz Mitglied ist, gewährt uns Einblicke in diese Welt. Und lässt uns sogar dorthin vor, wo blutige Mensuren gefochten werden. Wir treffen den Vorsitzenden der deutschnationalen, schlagenden Verbindung – und erfahren, dass er einst mit Walter Rosenkranz studiert und gefochten hat. Alexis Pascuttini, Aussteiger aus einem schlagenden Corps, erzählt in Folge zwei von seinem Alltag in der Verbindung – von strengen Hierarchien, Seilschaften und merkwürdigen Bräuchen. Doch was passiert, wenn die Traditionen hinterfragt werden? Und was wird in der Verbindung totgeschwiegen? In dieser Folge zu hören: Dieter Derntl (Steuerberater, Obmann Burschenschaft Libertas), Judith Götz (Politikwissenschafterin, Universität Innsbruck), Alexis Pascuttini (Rechtsanwalt, Gemeinderat in Graz, früher FPÖ, heute "Korruptionsfreier Gemeinderatsklub"), Bernhard Weidinger (Politikwissenschafter, Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstands); Moderation und Skript: Lucia Heisterkamp und Antonia Rauth; Redaktion: Käthe Bergmann, Benjamin Braden, Zsolt Wilhelm; Produktion: Philipp Fackler

In this episode of Planning Aces, host Jack Sweeney and resident thought leader Brett Knowles explore how finance leaders are approaching AI's early returns—balancing efficiency, experimentation, and human judgment. CFO Craig Foster of Pax8 discusses how AI enablement is driving measurable productivity gains. CFO David Obstler of Datadog reflects on finding ROI amid rapid innovation and market demand. And CFO Ben Gammell of Brex shares why forecasting still requires human intuition despite data-driven progress. Together, their insights reveal a spectrum of FP&A strategies defining the modern CFO's mindset toward AI adoption and business transformation.Brett Knowles' Key TakeawaysBrett Knowles observes that finance leaders are positioning themselves along a broad continuum—from bold experimentation to cautious skepticism—when it comes to AI in planning. He notes a shift in tone: CFOs are now openly discussing productivity gains and cost efficiency rather than avoiding them. Knowles cautions against overreliance on ROI metrics, emphasizing instead disciplined cost management, pragmatic experimentation, and the evolving role of finance in navigating technology-driven transformation.

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.

To build a world-class FP&A process in a SaaS or AI business, you need more than great dashboards—you need clean, reliable data from the right sources. In episode #317, Ben Murray shares the four foundational SaaS finance data sources that power accurate forecasts, meaningful metrics, and board-ready financial models.
