Ep 3: Why Curiosity Is the Most Underrated Skill in Finance

Finance leaders don't earn a seat at the table by having all the answers.

They earn it by asking better questions.

In Episode 3 of The CFO Review, Paul Lynch sits down with Peter Pixton, CFO of Plus One Robotics, to discuss an unconventional journey from molecular biology to Fortune 20 finance, Rackspace, healthcare, and robotics.

Together, they explore:

  • Why curiosity is a finance leader's greatest advantage
  • How to make the leap from analyst to strategic CFO
  • Lessons from AT&T, Rackspace, and AI-driven robotics
  • Why taking calculated risks matters more than waiting for perfect data
  • How AI will reshape the future of finance

If you're an FP&A professional, Controller, Finance Director, or aspiring CFO, this conversation is packed with practical lessons you can apply today.
