Seeking CFOs, snr finance pros, and other experts, for an article ‘As big AI firms buy data centers, do we need a new kind of “industrial tech” CFO?’ For all, please give direct impacts and real life experiences where possible. 1. Big Tech firms are buying up or partnering chip providers, data centers and other infrastructure. Shifting focus from selling software to managing hardware and manufacturing. How does this change the finance function? 2. Does manufacturing need a CFO with very different skills compared to Saas? Eg software is infinitely reproducible with a small inventory and outlay. In manufacturing, you need to track inventory, stock units, bills of sales, yield variance, labor absorption, and costing measures. 3. Is there evidence of an “import” of manufacturing CFOs or skill transformation ? 4. What are the challenges of not reskilling? How can Saas CFOs address these and transform? Deadline for comments is 28 May. Secret CFO has 58k+ subscribers and 250k+ active users.
