On this week’s episode of CFO 4.0, we have CFO at greenHat, Paul van der Walt joining us to discuss the power of curiosity and what it means for CFOs.

An experienced CFO, Paul has a career shaped with a combination of analysis, business partnering, and leadership. A naturally curious individual, he wants to learn how things tick. In the past, he has worked as a CFO for Specsavers, and was a Senior Finance Manager at Heathrow Airport. 

In this session we talk all about the importance of curiosity both as a leader but also within a team culture. 

This episode covers:

  • Paul’s background and his journey into the finance world
  • The definition of curiosity in finance
  • What does #GetCurious mean for him and why is it important in finance?
  • What does a curious CFO look like?
  • What are the downsides/shadow behaviours with curiosity?
  • Can curiosity be taught or is it a natural ability?
  • Building a culture that supports curiosity
