No one in the world knows middle-market CFOs better than Nick Araco JR, AchieveNEXT and The CFO Alliance CEO. Here is the latest place where Nick's thought leadership regarding the changing role of the middle-market CFO is featured, this time from CFO.COM regarding the CFOs approach to #diversityequityandincludison. One key quote: “I will tell you right now, if a CFO is uncomfortable with how their company is approaching DEI, they will likely leave,” Araco Jr. said. “There isn’t a CFO out there that’s going to put their head down and put their neck on the chopping block for this. If they are faced with a situation where they’re uncomfortable, they will assess, determine whether or not it aligns with what they believe and what’s best for the company. If they feel like it’s not right, they will not stick around for long.” Omar Abdullah, Ph.D. Greg Wood Ed Wallace Grant Wallace Milton Corsey Misty Law Flurry John Furlong David Boer Sandy Nash #CFO #bestpractices #diversityequityandinclusion https://lnkd.in/gva3R8Rr
