Says CFO說

PADORA A/S CFO, Peter Vekslund

I’m very engaged in recruiting and developing people. I believe this is about getting people with a skill set that is not just about technical competence, but also the right mindset. Another is being a role model, even in small details:showing up on time, calling in on time, responding to emails and questions and so on. When people start with a consultancy firm, within the first couple of months they go on consultancy training,looking at how to interact with a client, how to ask the right questions, how to say no. We do a similar training session with all controllers at our headquarters to help them interact with the organization.

Trivago CFO，Axel Hefer

I personally completely overestimated how much you can communicate during the roadshow. Trivago sounds like a simple product but the reason that we are all so excited about it and why we see so much opportunity are more complex than what you can explain in one meeting. It’s one step and then what really matters is that you’re transparent and you share with investors.

丹麥珠寶品牌Pandora（潘多拉）CFO Peter Vekslund表示，“我非常關心員工的招聘和培養。我相信這關系到能否使人們擁有一套技能，不僅是技術能力，而且是正確的心態。另一點是要在各個方面成為角色模范，即使是在一些細節方面：會面不遲到、準時打電話、回復電子郵件和提問等。進入咨詢公司的員工在最初的幾個月里，都會接受咨詢培訓，學習如何與客戶互動，如何問正確的問題，如何說‘不’。我們在公司總部對所有主管人員也進行類似的培訓，以幫助他們學習如何與組織互動。”

全球最大的酒店搜索引擎Trivago CFO Axel Hefer談到IPO成功時的感受稱，“我完全高估了路演過程中可以溝通的程度。Trivago聽起來像是一件簡單的產品，而事實上，之所以IPO成功讓我們這么激動以及為什么我們看到這么多的機會，背后的復雜原因很難通過一次路演解釋清楚。路演只是其中一步，真正重要的是公司的透明度，以及愿意與投資者進行分享。”

Manx Telecom CFO, Danny Bakhshi

Get good people around you. The technical aspects of the function are getting so wide that it’s hard for one person to be an expert in all aspects of it. Really work at the insight,” he adds. “Understand what the numbers tell you about a business and what you need to do, rather than just report the numbers. I think that is going to be absolutely critical over the next five years.”

ManxTelecom是一家位于英屬曼島的領先托管及通信解決方案提供商。作為CFO，Danny Bakhshi認為，對CFO來說，不斷吸引人才是最重要的。“財務功能的技術范圍正變得越來越大，任何一個人都不可能在所有方面成為專家。一定要深入研究財務，了解財務數字告訴的我們商業信息和你需要做什么。這在未來五年內是至關重要的。”
