Being a CFO at a PE Backed Company: What You Should Know w/ Kerem Bolukbasi: If you’ve ever moved from a large corporation to a smaller company, say startup, or even a mid-sized company, you know how difficult that transition can be. It can be hard moving from a big company to a private-equity backed company. Especially as a CFO. The skill sets needed to be a CFO at a FOrtune 500 company are likely going to look very different than those needed for a boot-strap startup, or even a mid-sized company. So if you’re looking at making a change, it can be hard to know where to begin, or if you’ll be a good fit. On this episode of CFO Weekly, we talked with Kerem Bolukbasi. Kerem is the EVP and Chief Financial Officer at Exactech, and during our conversation we talked all about, among other things, what makes a PE backed company an attractive role for a CFO, the leadership skills required to succeed at a PE backed company, and how the role of a CFO differs from large companies to these smalle by CFO Weekly
