Good morning. Becoming CFO at one of the world’s largest companies is no small feat, especially early in one’s career. It's why Fortune decided to highlight seven finance chiefs making huge strides before reaching their 40th birthdays—all of whom worked their way through the ranks to ascend to the C-suite's No. 2 spot.
For example, Jessica Fischer, 39, of Charter Communications, which moved up three spots to No. 76 on the Fortune 500 list with $54.6 billion in revenue, was named CFO in October 2021. She most recently served as EVP of finance after joining the company as corporate treasurer in 2017. Before joining Charter, Fischer was a partner in the national tax department at EY.
