Gina Mastantuono, CFO at ServiceNow, is a proponent of stretch assignments.
"When I graduated college, I never imagined, as a woman, that being a CFO was possible," Mastantuono told Fortune earlier this spring. "I got there by pushing the envelope and getting outside my comfort zone. Growth and comfort do not coexist. You have to put yourself out there in the small ways and the big ways. Don’t be afraid to speak up in those meetings."
