Executive IT – Expert CFO Advice on Bridging IT and Business Strategy, E01

CFOs Ziad Fanous (Automox) and David Mehok (formerly CFO of Q2) join host Evan Kiely to break down how IT transformation drives real business value—not just cost savings. They share candid lessons from decades in finance leadership on:

  • Aligning IT investments with company-wide goals
  • Avoiding the pitfalls of tool consolidation and vendor lock-in
  • Tracking hard vs. soft savings the right way
  • Communicating IT value to finance teams with clarity and impact
  • Why executive alignment and continuous value proof are critical to keeping tools funded

A must-listen for IT and security leaders who want to secure budget, prove ROI, and build stronger relationships with finance.
