Christine Russell, CFO at UniPixel
Dear CFO Moves reader,
Following the success of previous “A CFO Success Story” pieces based on CFOs who have moved in these pages, you are invited to view my recent interview with Christine Russell, new CFO at UniPixel.
Here are some snippets Christine shared with me on the following topics:
The formula for a great company:
1) Serves a large market.
2) Creates a useful and differentiated product.
3) Has a really well-rounded CEO.
Networking: Successful networking means making lifelong friends and giving back.
Successful Female CFOs: Executives need to make their career a priority. There is no such thing as balance. It’s a compromise. It’s what you choose to do with your life.
Females on Boards: Recruit your board by individual, irrespective of race, sex, country of origin. Hire the best for the board. Period.
Managing your Board: Over-communication and transparency creates trust.
The Best CEOs for CFOs: Confident CEOs are able to share their powerbase with the CFO and treat them as a trusted partner.
Advice to up-and-coming female CFOs: Be absolutely fearless. Brainstorm with your other executives, and shut up and listen – you will learn a lot.
You can read the entire interview with Christine on my CFO blog.

See you again on Monday,
Samuel
