The following is a bonus replay of one of 2022's popular episodes. When Herald Chen was growing up in a town not far from Pittsburg, he dreamed of someday running the small town's steel mill. Years later when he was graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, the steel mill no longer occupied Chen's maturing career aspirations. “My two job offers were to either go make soap for Procter & Gamble at a manufacturing plant in Baltimore or go to Wall Street,“ remembers Chen, who adds that the offers for the seemingly different jobs came as a result of having graduated from UPenn's Management and Technology program—a curriculum that offered a dual degree in engineering and finance. Chen chose Wall Street and in 1995 landed at KKR, the private equity firm that had feasted on leveraged buyouts in 1970s and 1980s. Recalls Chen: “I had a front row seat for meeting many CEOs and CFOs and invested behind a couple dozen of them, so I learned a lot about what the good, the bad, and the ugly look like in these companies.”   Twenty-seven years later, KKR can arguably be seen to have been the mother ship of Chen's finance career, a place that over time he would leave and then return to as the investment house provided him with the wherewithal to open new professional chapters—the longest being from 2007 to 2019, when he headed KKR's Technology, Media, and Telecom practice. Along the way, Chen demonstrated a rapport with C-suite members and company boards that distinguished him from other investors, a trait that led to a growing number of invitations to sit on different company boards. “I had figured out that I wanted to be building businesses, but I also knew that I wasn't the smartest or brightest or most charismatic person in the room, so maybe the best way for me wasn't actually sitting in the CEO seat but instead was investing and sitting on boards and helping CEOs,” comments Chen, who has held a number of board seats, as well as served as board chair for such companies as Internet Brands/WebMD, Optiv, Epicor, BMC Software, and Mitchell International.  With a boardroom track record that few of his CFO peers can match, Chen attributes his success in part to being a good listener.  “I would invest behind CEOs and CFOs whom others just didn't understand—they just didn't comprehend what these people were trying to do—because I would find that I could create a lot of value with them just by taking a little extra time to hear them through,” remarks Chen. When asked to offer advice for CFOs seeking to lower the temperature of certain boardroom discussions, Chen shares a story involving notable KKR financier Henry Kravis: “When I was at KKR, I made a mistake in some of the numbers one time. It was late in the transaction, at the point where on Wall Street you'd expect to get yelled at and there would be this big blowup—but I remember Henry Kravis just getting very calm and saying, ‘Hey, we'll get through this and come out the other side.'” –Jack Sweeney

The conversation I had with Heather Samarin was very informative and helpful for small businesses and well established businesses. Heather and her business partner/close friend Vidya Dinamani are helping people all over the world. Heather Samarin is the co-founder of Product Rebels and has over 17 years of experience in design, development, and management of customer experiences. She has held multiple product executive roles for successful companies like Intuit and her business partner Vidya Dinamani is the co-founder of Product Rebels where she exercises her passion for coaching product leaders and teams. She has over 18 years of experience specializing in strategy, innovation, product development, design and management. She has help multiple executive roles at leading companies including Intuit and Mitchell International. Driven to create a better way to bring new products and features to market, product management experts Vidya Dinamani and Heather Samarin developed an easy-to-implement framework to help product teams get better at creating delightful experiences that drive growth. Groundwork is a philosophy and methodology for product leaders and product teams that focus on three Pillars—Convergent Problem Statement, Actionable Persona, Individualized Needs—and three Practices—Developing Hypotheses, Conducting Scrappy Research, Getting Commitment—that together center your efforts around the most impactful problems, prioritize the right customer needs, enable durable decisions and creates customer-driven organizations that consistently develop products people actually want. Product Rebels was forged through decades of experience in product management and product leadership roles. Why do they call themselves Product Rebels? because the best product leaders represent the voice of the customer. They are obsessed with the problem the customer faces, the impact decisions may have on them, and the pain points they experience. And sometimes, being that voice of the customer in your company can feel like rowing up stream…without a paddle. Sometimes you feel you have to fight to get that voice heard. This can make you feel like a rebel within your organization. If you want to know about product rebels go to https://productrebels.com/about-us/ That is not all..Heather and Vidya wrote a book. GROUNDWORK: GET BETTER AT MAKING BETTER PRODUCTS-From their book, you will develop a product management framework, called the Groundwork Method ™ that provides the blueprint to establish these foundations and addresses the major causes that lead to unhappy customers and poor product performance. Heather and Vidya has now coached hundreds of product managers on this framework and have evolved it and the way they coach are based on their feedback.

Jon Nguyen got his first taste of M&A-related work in the early to mid-2000s when he served as the finance partner for the auto lending unit of HSBC. “In consumer lending, you end up doing a lot of portfolio purchases rather than equity ones, but I have become more involved in the execution of deals over the past 8 years,” says Nguyen, who, distinguishes the past 8 years as a standout chapter -one that has allowed him to certify his M&A credentials and enter the CFO office at Kyriba. Turn back the clock 8 years, and Nguyen is vice president of finance for Mitchell International, a $600 million software and service business. As the company’s FP&A leader, Nguyen was tasked with supplying key insights to management decision-making behind the sale of Mitchell to KKR in 2013. Meanwhile, 5 years later, Nguyen was once more in the M&A diligence mix when KKR sold Mitchell to Stone Point Capital. Along the way, Nguyen’s M&A resume quickly expanded. “At Mitchell, we were very acquisitive, and during my tenure there, we acquired 12 to 15 companies,” says Nguyen, who frequently became charged with leading the integration of Mitchell’s latest bounty. In mid-2018, following the sale of Mitchell to Stone Point, Nguyen joined cloud treasury and finance solutions company Kyriba as senior vice president of FP&A. Roughly a year later, he was named Kyriba’s CFO—a development that came on the heels of Kyriba’s sale to private equity firm BridgePoint. There’s little question that Nguyen’s latest career chapter has a familiar ring to it and is perhaps part of a larger M&A volume that he first started creating 8 years ago. Says Nguyen: “It’s interesting how life can take you where you belong.” - Jack Sweeney
