Such a leader must serve as a trusted adviser to both the board and management, skillfully navigating the complexities of day-today financial planning and management as well as special events such as mergers and acquisitions while adeptly managing the ever-changing landscape of government regulations, and Board, investor, and shareholder requirements.
