How the top seats are actually reached — the paths, the skills, and how these roles get filled.

Finance

How to Become a CFO

Becoming a CFO usually means progressing from a finance foundation — accounting, FP&A, or investment — into roles of widening scope: controller, VP Finance, then CFO.

How to Become a CEO

Becoming a CEO rarely follows one path: founders, functional leaders who broadened, and divisional heads who ran a P&L all reach it.
