In this insightful interview, I sat down with Cynthia Trevino de Leon, CFO at Mexilink and a driving force behind their emerging S&OP process. We explore the crucial role of finance in S&OP/IBP, the importance of linking KPIs directly to the income statement and balance sheet, and how this financial lens can foster stronger collaboration and shared strategy across the organization. Cynthia also shares her experiences as part of Chief—an empowering community of women executives—and offers inspiration on how we can nurture the next generation of female leaders in our field. Tune in for practical guidance, inspiring stories, and a fresh perspective on what it takes to elevate S&OP and drive meaningful business success.
