An Unconventional Path to CFO: Scott Drummond's Story

Episode notes

Most CFOs don't start their careers directing Shakespeare. Scott Drummond did. Now CFO at REIQ , Scott sits down with Sumith to unpack his unusual journey from theatre to finance. He reckons the skills that made him a good director – proper listening, bringing out the best in teams, seeing the big picture – are exactly what CFOs need today. They also dig into what finance transformation actually looks like in a membership organisation, how to manage AI without the panic, and why Scott sees his role as " the backstop in baseball ." Worth a listen if you're interested in how people end up where they are. Thanks for tuning in to Books to the Boardroom !
