Good morning. It's Fortune finance editor Jeff Roberts pinch-hitting for Sheryl, and I wanted to share some highlights of my recent interview with Jason Warnick. He is the CFO of the fast-growing finance app Robinhood, which he joined in 2018 after almost 20 years at Amazon—a company that has heavily influenced Warnick's approach to his job and whose lessons he still draws upon today.
One feature of Amazon's corporate culture that has really stuck with Warnick is how the company walked the walk when it came to leadership principles. While nearly every firm adopts a formal mission or set of principles at some point, it often happens that these become empty words with little effect on executives' day-to-day work. Warnick says this wasn't the case at Amazon.
