Historically, CFOs were mainly responsible for financial management, reporting, budgeting, and forecasting, ensuring the company's financial health and profitability. However, with the CFO's increasing involvement in strategic decision-making and their crucial role in shaping the future direction of their company, the role is now taking on a new title - the Chief Future Officer. To understand the various aspects of this evolving role and discuss how CFOs are adapting to meet the challenges of the future, we discuss with Joy Mbanugo.

As ServiceRocket's CFO, Joy oversees the Finance, Accounting, Procurement, and Workforce Planning teams. With more than 20 years of experience in audit, tax, business operations, financial services, and financial planning and analysis across different industries, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her role. Before ServiceRocket, Joy spent five years at Google, where she assessed Google Cloud Partnerships and Solutions, managed Alphabet's financial data, and optimized the cash management for assets exceeding $100 billion.
