TechCFO Elevate: Shaping the Next Generation of Finance Leaders
Following a standout launch event earlier this year, TechCFO Elevate returns this May, to support ambitious Heads of Finance, Controllers, and Finance Managers who are ready to take the next step.
We’re thrilled to host a fireside chat with Tom Platford, Portfolio CFO to five tech and media startups. With 20+ years of finance leadership, Tom scaled SuperAwesome from $10m to $110m, played a key role in its $300m exit, raised $100m+ in capital, and led a successful MBO. He’ll share insights on stepping into the CFO role, leading through high growth, and what separates good from great finance leaders.
TechCFO Elevate builds on the success of Cooper Parry’s TechCFO community and is more than a networking event. It’s a space for honest conversations about what it truly takes to make the leap. The technical foundations matter, but so do commercial instinct, leadership presence, resilience, and the ability to influence at board level. These are skills rarely taught, but are essential to becoming a modern CFO.
If you’re ready to accelerate your development, expand your network and gain real work insights into the realities of senior finance leadership, TechCFO Elevate is for you.
We’d also encourage CFOs and finance leaders to nominate individuals within their team who are ready for the next step.
