Good morning. As CFO turnover is on the rise, it's a good time to explore the risks and opportunities that go with finding a new job in a different industry.
I had a conversation with Scott W. Simmons, co-managing partner of executive search firm Crist Kolder Associates, about this topic. His advice for CFOs: “You’ve got to get into an industry and at a company that you find exciting and fascinating.” Finance chiefs should know that the world is wider for them as they build their careers, said Simmons, who has more than 20 years of experience in his field.
