Hot take: most first-time CFOs over-index on reporting and under-index on capital allocation. The board hired you to make the money work, not just count it.

Reminder for VP+ eng leaders interviewing: ask what got the last person in the seat let go. The answer tells you more about the role than any JD.

Scaling ops from 2 sites to 6 taught me: standardise the boring 80%, let each site own the 20% that's genuinely local. Central control of everything kills speed.
