Grant Fitz, Chief Financial Officer at EFI, joins Megan Weis to share his best insights regarding the role of a CFO and the importance of diversity in leadership.

Grant brings nearly thirty years of experience overseeing accounting, business support, and financial planning and analysis in the print marketing, tech, and automotive fields at companies such as Valassis, Xerox, Nexteer Automotive, and General Motors.

In July 2019, Siris Capital purchased EFI, and Fitz was brought in to significantly improve its financial performance and prepare the company for an exit strategy in the future.

Grant oversees the financial and information technology operations for EFI and supports the development of sound business strategies, strong internal controls, financial discipline, and integrity.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Shaping the personal leadership style
