Welcome to the first episode of Liquid: How CFOs Outperform!

In this episode, hosts Tom Gavaghan and Holly McNulty are joined by Kyriba's CEO, Melissa Di Donato, and CFO, Adam Drew. Melissa and Adam discuss their career journeys, the dynamic relationship between the CEO and CFO, and the importance of data-driven decision-making. They also discuss the role of adaptability in leadership, the significance of diversity within their team, and the critical nature of effective communication in driving success.

Melissa, Kyriba CEO

“ It really is a Batman and Robin thing. It's something that you really need to put a lot of work into because one depends upon the other greatly. And the better the relationship, the much more profound output that one will always get. We depend upon each other. We work together and we must always be on the same page."

Adam, Kyriba CFO

“The relationship between CEO and CFO is probably the most important relationship in any company. To Melissa's point, a good CEO, particularly ones trying to be great, should be looking to absolutely push the envelope...If Melissa can be the dreamer, one of us has to be the realist, and that often falls on me. But once you've got that balance, then the numbers just support it.”
