From Boardroom to Broadcast: The CFO as Company Spokesperson For many years, the Chief Financial Officer was viewed as the quiet operator behind the scenes.

Musings on Markets

I’m on the road visiting our new office in Chicago and then heading to meet clients in San Francisco. However, after hearing some misinformation on TV from the usual suspects, I felt compelled to remind people of some key facts about the US debt and deficits. For a period of ~20 years, beginning after the September 11th attack, accelerating after the GFC, and running up until the 2022 rate hikes, the United States enjoyed incredibly low interest rates.

When a financial advisor transitions from one firm to another, they're often offered incentives by the new firm based on how much client revenue they bring with them.

Global Finance : To what extent does geography play a role in affecting a company’s valuation? Koller : It applies to most parts of the world. If you are a purely local business, in Europe or Asia, for example, then it’s less of an issue. But, if the US were to experience a severe recession, it would probably affect everybody. And then, of course, there are those businesses that are directly impacted—companies that export, import or compete with US companies.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

In this high-stakes space, your technical expertise will get you a seat at the table. But it is your self-awareness, your ability to understand and lead yourself, that keeps you there and earns you influence beyond the numbers.
