Jeanette Dorazio: What do CEOs really want from FP&A?

A slightly different episode this week, featuring not a finance chief, but a CEO talking about the power and impact of FP&A on business strategy. Jeanette Dorazio, CEO of Leadpages, joins Paul to discuss the daily impact FP&A is having for her company, a leading SaaS no-code website and landing page builder.

In this episode Jeanette Dorazio discusses with Paul:

• How FP&A teams can actually get that coveted seat at the table by “seeing the patterns” in a business
• How FP&A works with her in monitoring key metrics for growth 
• The CEOs playbook for FP&A during a downturn 
• The best and worst FP&A work she has seen in her career 
• Why FP&A should be a “very close first” for hiring into the finance team after the CFO
• Why the visibility of FP&A needs to improve 
• The power of Excel in shaping her journey through product management to CEO
