Businesses are always searching for methods to improve their operations and gain an advantage over their competitors. One area often neglected is making finance part of the business' operating fabric. However, by bringing finance into decision-making processes and aligning it with other functions, companies can achieve better financial outcomes, mitigate risk, and drive growth. And that's what Luigi Testa talks about in today's episode.
Luigi is an accomplished finance and strategy professional with a vast background in venture capital and SaaS industries. He is the Chief Financial Officer at LinkSquares and a Founding Member of The F Suite, an exclusive, invitation-only community for CFOs. Previously, Luigi worked at Building Engines.
