CFOs as CEOs by CFO-Coach Cindy Kraft

Much kudos to Cindy Kraft, the CFO-Coach, for an outstanding article that explains why CFOs make great CEOs.
Cindy was asked her input on whether she believes that the rise of CFOs into CEO positions is a trend that will continue well after the recession is gone. Her believe is that we will definitely see an upward trend in the coming years.
I believe the opportunity arose about the time that CFOs began making the transition from bean counter to strategic leader with a seat at the executive table. The hottest CFO prospects today are those with the ability to predict financial trends and who bring an operational background (particularly when they also hold a CPA and an MBA). From a career perspective, two of the smartest things a CFO can do today are gain operational experience and claim a seat at the executive table.
Cindy Kraft has 14 years of experience in career and personal brand strategy for CFOs, and was a Keynote presenter at the 2009 PROPHIX User Conference. Read her full article to learn more about what it takes for CFOs to become CEOs.
