In this episode of From Go to CFO, Nick Constain sat down with Andrew Walker, CFO for Sunnyfield Disability Services to talk about his transition from commercial organisations to for-purpose and what drives him. Key highlights include:
- Working at Woolworths and the importance of influencing - it was a big part of his role and shaped him to where he is today in a for-purpose organisation.
- Within an organisation, particularly in for-purpose, there is always a clash between hearts and minds and finances.
- The importance of building relationships and trust within an organisation can never be underestimated.
- How to explain financial concepts to non-financial people - taking them on the journey.
- Building rapport with and having open and transparent conversations with the Board is critical to your success as a leader within a for-purpose organisation.
- Creating a legacy - leaving an organisation in a better place than when it was received.
