In a world where technology, regulation, and business models can shift rapidly, building a finance function that remains effective five years from now is a strategic necessity rather than a luxury. In this episode, Kevin Appleby speaks with Rishi Oberoi, Deputy CFO and CAO at Varo Bank, about designing scalable finance systems, teams, and leadership structures that enable organizations to grow without sacrificing trust, agility, or compliance. Together, they explore how empathy, humility, AI-driven controls, future-ready systems, and mission-led leadership can help modern CFOs move beyond reporting and focus on long-term strategy, value creation, and equitable financial access.
