Arlen Shenkman CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER | SAP NORTH AMERICA “Decisions about how to allocate capital are complex, and depend upon many interrelated factors. The role of innovation is a key consideration. It influences how much of your available capital you’re going to invest in R&D and over what period of time you will look for your payback. It influences the amount of risk you’re willing to take and how you will seek to balance the long- and short- term interest of your shareholders. Investment decisions are not considered in isolation, but need to be judged in light of the strategy you’ve applied across the business. A decision to try to build new products needs to be assessed in relation to your broader capital deployment strategy to ensure a balanced risk and reward profile for your shareholder base.” Arlen Shenkman’s quote is reprinted by permission from his blog for Digitalist magazine http://www.digitalistmag.com/ FINALISTS FOR CFO INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION AWARD David Feit | Chief Financial Officer, Pearl Capital Business Funding
