What mid-market CFOs say about the job today and where it’s headed
The CFO role is often described as evolving into something entirely new, but the reality looks different in practice.
At the Long Island Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants’ CFO Panel on Sept. 9, three CFOs from industries as varied as consumer goods, ice manufacturing and transportation technology spent more time discussing forecasting, leading teams and managing systems than about sweeping transformations or experimentation with new technologies.
The event featured input from Joseph Goren of The Pink Stuff, a manufacturer and seller of household cleaning supplies; Stephanie Choudri of Arctic Glacier Premium Ice, a 140- year old international distributor of ice; and Tom Dolce of Clever Devices, a provider of intelligent transportation systems solutions for public transportation agencies.
