CFO Studio Magazine with David Chambers, CFO, Jaguar Land Rover NA

WINNER JennifferCollins CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER | TELIGENT “Innovation is often synonymous with risk-taking, which on the surface might seem counterintuitive for a CFO to embrace. But in a small-market company, you are constantly doing things for the first time. That elevates the risk profile, but we can’t let risk alone hold us back from exploring new growth opportunities. I believe what our team does well at Teligent is to plan well whenever possible, but, more importantly, we stay flexible. Our goal is to identify a problem or opportunity quickly, and then to resolve it and move forward. We constantly balance the needs of the organization with an estimate of both the risk and opportunity, and then we develop a reasonable, effective, and efficient solution. In order to be an innovative small- market CFO, you need to possess the vision to see the future, the ability to hire great people, and the insight to know, in order to be a great team captain, you have to be a great teammate.” 3rd QUARTER 2016 WWW.CFOSTUDIO.COM 27 SMALL MARKET COMPANIES CFO THINKING BIG AWARD The CFO who has overcome the small company mind-set, has instilled a sophisticated management style into the company, and has inspired leadership, employees, and other partners to grow and succeed, despite limited resources and against larger and more formidable competitors.
