CFO Practice

The proper label for today's CFOs is probably “CFIOs” or “CFDTOs”. The current demand for information management or digital transformation increases the CFO’s impact in organizations. These leaders can be seen as the guardians of business processes; for they do not only provide true insight but real foresight as well. They have become ‘the financial conscience’ of the company in times of enormous change; the countervailing balance in management teams with a hunger for growth. Their leadership requires a DNA of both bravery and risk aversion; a wonderful combination of guts and discipline. Leaders with those qualities ensure sustainable growth of the company; they are tomorrow’s CFOs.

The right CIO for your company through executive search

There is not a company in the world that doesn’t feel the urgency for digital transformation. But that doesn’t imply that every company tackles the process thoroughly and systematically by choosing the only right way; a fundamental reassessment of their business operation. As a result, many companies mainly invest in symptom relief on the surface. They don't realize that true digital transformation is driven from the core of the organization and takes place at every level of the organization. From strategical to tactical, from the boardroom to the work floor, every level requires a customized solution, and customization requires specialists. As a result, there are many companies that invest vast amounts of money but end up doing too little. It is estimated that on average companies allot a budget of 75% where actually 150% is needed in order not to fall behind. But since the absolute amount of the investment seems high, their approach easily feels robust. But appearances are deceptive.

Executive Search for the marketing sector

Marketing must therefore be represented in all the fibers of a modern organization. All exponents of the company can be both a risk of failure and an opportunity.

They have bird of prey sight; total overview and attention to details. They are driven on all fronts to optimize the brand promise innovation. The 9+ experience is their norm but even then they want to go over and beyond.

The best leaders in marketing are deeply committed to the continuity of their business. They are willing to stick their neck out to create the optimal experience. They take the lead and are at the forefront of change and improvement. They are their brand. The best marketers do things first for existential reasons, before financial and commercial reasons. They will not compromise on quality. Because the quality of the experience is them.

Being critical requires critical self-reflection

Tomorrow's SB is a diverse, professional team that has been around the block many times. A balanced group of active and committed members with each specific specialist knowledge, experience, vision and wisdom, but with a holistic view on the company. A SB is composed on the basis of what will be needed in the future. She refreshes herself to the pulse of  developments; in the company, in the market and in society. Because she knows 'What got us here, won't get us there'. A professional SB regularly questions and 'challenges' her own composition, preferably by seeking consultation of professionals who are just as experienced and critical as they are themselves.
