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.
