I tend to introduce myself as a "recovering CFO" which typically triggers a question or odd look! I learned a LOT about people and business in 25 years of full-time "CFO-ing". I have leveraged all those years of various experiences to now serve on several for profit and nonprofit boards as well as working with a select list of companies as a "working board member" (I don't use the "C-word" (consultant). I am also a speaker and thought leader on some unique topics: - "The Office of the CFO as a Profit Center" - "The 2 most expensive things in business are NOT on your P&L" - "Six questions (almost) no one can answer "YES"" - "Finance and Accounting are not the same thing" Also - I am pretty good at making strategic connections and happy to do so. Paying it forward !
