Imagine you’ve spent the better part of two decades as a CFO at one of the largest companies in the world. Then, you find a great opportunity in a startup.
Could you handle the transition?
This week’s guest doesn’t have to imagine. Joel Krutz did just that for a chance to help make the world more sustainable, while still providing value for shareholders, as Chief Financial Officer at Crown Electrokinetics (NASDAQ: CRKN). He joins the show to share the lessons he’s learned from the experience.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What compelled Joel to make the transition
- How an SEC-traded startup requires a CFO who is part engineer, part artist
- How Joel thinks about hiring
- The role of empathy plays in success as a startup CFO
