When to bring in a (fractional) CFO

About this episode:
On this week’s episode, in partnership with Pleo, host Benjamin Ensor is joined by Jeppe Rindom, Co-Founder and CEO of Pleo; Søren Westh Lonning, CFO at Pleo; and Megan Cooper, CEO of Caywood, to explore how the role of finance has evolved over the past decade - and what it will take for finance teams to win the next 10 years.
We discuss how expectations on CFOs and finance teams are changing; why decision overload and decision-freeze are becoming more common; and how finance leaders can balance pressure, uncertainty and strategic influence. The panel also looks ahead to what finance teams need to focus on now - from better tools and data to confidence and capability - to drive better decisions and stronger businesses.
This week’s guests:
- Jeppe Rindom - Co-Founder & CEO at Pleo
