Podcast Recommendation: The Growth-Minded CFO Podcast One of our portfolio companies, Upflow, has launched a podcast that explores the role of financial leaders in driving business growth beyond just managing finance. Hosted by Alex L. and Lauren Elizabeth Pearl, the podcast features conversations with inspiring professionals who challenge the traditional stereotype of the CFO as a number-cruncher. In the first episode, they speak with Rita Kale, a seasoned CFO with experience at Roche and Graviton Bioscience. Here are some of the key insights she shared that we found particularly interesting: 🔵 The importance of balancing both strategic and operational roles. 🔵 CFOs should think and act like an owner and understand the business beyond just the financials. 🔵 By finding your own unique approach to work-life balance, you'll be more productive and perform better.
