Do you need a degree to enter the C-suite? Research by the World Economic Forum predicts that over the next five years, there will be increased demand for analytical thinking, creativity, complex problem-solving and technical literacy skills; attributes that many degrees help to shape and ones that are likely to be highly sought after in future leaders. But, in today’s evolving and dynamic business landscape, the notion that you need a degree to achieve a C-suite position is increasingly being challenged and big firms such as PwC, Goldman Sachs, Google and Apple have done away with degree requirements in a bid to focus more on skills, remove unnecessary barriers to jobs and to attract diverse talent.

How to succeed as a first-time CFO As companies increasingly turn to first-time CFOs in response to record levels of churn, four finance leaders share their advice on what it takes to thrive in the role... "My advice for first-time CFOs, or those who wish to eventually take on that role, is to always challenge the status quo. I don’t fit into the stereotypical CFO box. I’m a 37-year-old brown woman and I’ve had to fight against people telling me I’m too young or that I don’t fit the mould throughout my career."
