How CFOs Can Help Prevent Board BlowUps
CFO Magazine’s online edition has asked me to write a monthly column about improving the CEO/CFO dynamic in mid-market companies. The first article just went up, and focuses on interacting with the board of directors.
The CEO and CFO can become a powerful duo that balances growth with financial prudence.

This column, written from the CEO’s perspective, will offer actionable steps for CEOs and CFOs. Read it here and weigh in with your comments.
