Spotlight Episode: the ever-evolving role of the modern-day CFO.
Broad sector experience is a major asset for a CFO: transferrable skills and adaptability are key. That’s especially true in 2025 where the role of the CFO is no longer just based on financial acumen.

Jan talks us through the advantages of bringing a broad sector experience to a CFO role, enhancing openness, and avoiding assumptions about business operations. Currently CFO at Alpha FMC, Jan’s career includes key roles at UKTV, Ashurst, and Premiership Rugby, where he successfully managed financial and operational responsibilities.
