Scott McDermott went from PwC in Ireland to CFO of a global AI company, with stops at Netgear for 14 years, the Arlo Technologies IPO at $1B+ on the NYSE, Fitbit’s European finance build, and interim CFO at Cornerstone OnDemand overseeing 170 people.
In this episode, he breaks down what AI is actually doing to finance jobs right now, why taking risks in your 20s is the move most people regret skipping, and how pattern recognition from 2008 helped him pull every dollar out of Silicon Valley Bank the morning it collapsed.
