"There's a tremendous opportunity for the next-generation CFO to bring clarity and visibility to the organization based on financial results and to be able to put that in front of a leadership team that will make good decisions based on the data they have," Pirrotta says. "We're not gatekeepers. We can bring information to bear in a way that helps people make better decisions. By using the right technology to gather data and the right analytics solutions to help analyze that data, combined with open and honest face-to-face discussions with key stakeholders, finance executives are uniquely positioned to help steer the company and its decisions in a way that gives the organization a real competitive edge. At Logicalis, we're in the fortunate position of being able to use leading-edge technology, and when you get good information in front of good leaders, they advance the business. That's part of the exciting role for a CFO."
