The modern CFO in the age of AI

Abstract: The CFO's job description is outdated. AI is pulling the role forward faster than most companies can keep up, turning a job built around reporting on results after the fact into one built around shaping what happens next. In this fireside chat, Zip co-founder and CEO Rujul Zaparde talks with Shopify CFO Jeff Hoffmeister about what it takes to become a modern CFO: building enough fluency in technology and data to be a real partner to cross-functional partners and using AI-driven insight to guide decisions rather than just explain them after the fact.
