In this episode of CFO Weekly, Mark Gaudiosi, Chief Financial Officer at Burro, joins Megan Weis to unpack why AI adoption in finance comes down to one deceptively simple question: what decision does this actually change? Mark brings more than twenty-five years of finance leadership across technology, health care, retail, and high-growth companies, including scaling Gopuff's finance function through 1,200% revenue growth and a 25x valuation increase, guiding Medical Guardian through a $200 million acquisition, and now sitting at the intersection of finance, robotics, and AI at Burro, an outdoor autonomous robotics company tackling the $2 trillion global labor shortage.

With a career that spans a startup's full life cycle, from IPO to bankruptcy at Zany Brainy, to hyper-scaling a delivery unicorn, to now translating terabytes of robot telemetry into financial decisions, Mark shares how CFOs can separate genuine AI value from hype, why the finance function is inheriting data ownership from IT, and how disciplined intuition, not just dashboards, still drives the best calls in the room.
