How I spend my first 100 days as CFO
I’ve worked for five companies in five industries, and one thing seems universal: Everyone assumes that their processes and systems are a given. That whatever steps they take are necessary, that any software is capturing numbers correctly, and that the finance leadership has a full view. But this is rarely the case.
ERP security and compliance should be a strategic enabler
Most companies have a complicated relationship to their security and compliance. What was once seen as a hindrance has become crucial for survival. As public security breaches continue to make headlines, decision-makers are facing mounting pressure to protect their organizations without losing their agility. Many are losing sleep over it.
I tried Claude Cowork for procurement—I’m stunned
It goes without saying that there’s a lot of buzz around AI and agents right now. But what are people actually doing with them in supply chain and finance? My team gave AI agents a concerted try, and I’m being honest when I say I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before in my career—a moment when things changed so completely.

It’s now ‘survival of the fintech fittest’ when fighting for growth
CFOs are adopting a more active style of management. Their job descriptions have grown 19% longer, and they are contributing more project-level financial strategies earlier on in the business planning cycle.
How are finance teams using AI right now? [2026 update]
Finance leaders want to know what others are using AI for. The answer is complicated, but these 12 use cases are worth considering.
What’s the value of a live sandbox? (NetSuite comparison)
Your team buys an ERP. Then, for every $1 you paid for the ERP, you spend an additional $1.50 to $3 on other applications to extend its functionality. Is that good? Is it normal?
Why I think finance leaders should be “multilingual”
Any finance leader who is not deeply interested in information flows is, I think, not understanding where finance is headed. Forget forecasting. Forget number crunching. Finance is becoming about information flows and the ability to understand the business well enough to change it.
