Good morning. If you’re an effective, experienced finance chief, you’re wanted by most companies. I sat down with Jenna Fisher, co-head of Russell Reynolds Associates’ Global Financial Officers Practice, to discuss the firm’s latest research and what she’s seeing.
“There is so much demand for CFOs,” Fisher told me. “We’re not getting talent, by and large, from the accounting firms; it’s still selectively coming from the investment banking firms,” she said. And unlike 10 or more years ago, there isn’t the same pipeline of CFO stars birthed from executive development programs at industrial conglomerates, she explained.
One example is GE, which had a robust program to develop executives. Its alumni include Delta CFO Dan Janki who, before taking on his current role in 2021, spent more than 25 years at GE, getting his start in the company’s financial management program. (GE is no longer a conglomerate but now three separate public companies.)
