What really separates a visionary CEO from a strategic CFO?

And more importantly — how can founders tap into both mindsets to scale smarter?

In this episode of The CFO Edge, Carol breaks down the key differences between the CEO and CFO lens — and why switching gears between the two is crucial as your business grows.

You’ll hear how to balance bold bets with disciplined decision-making, and why thinking like a CFO doesn’t mean playing it safe — it means playing to win with your numbers in check.

You’ll learn:

  • What the CEO mindset gets right (and where it can lead you astray)
  • How CFO thinking brings clarity, focus, and long-term traction
  • Practical ways to adopt a financial leadership lens — even if you’re not a numbers person

Whether you're bootstrapping or backed by venture, this episode is your guide to scaling with confidence and financial intelligence.
