See what this CEO says is needed for a great CFO.
CFOs are no longer just stewards of the bottom line, they’re strategic leaders shaping the future of care delivery. To get there, being in-tune with the organization as whole, is key.
At Winona Health, CEO Rachelle Schultz believes CFOs must bring more than technical financial skills—they also need strategic insight, courage, and relationship-building capabilities to drive meaningful change. The traditional models of healthcare delivery are no longer effective, and CFOs must help lead the transformation.
“We’ve got to reinvent healthcare,” Schultz says. “I think there’s a courage factor in all of that—a willingness to push the boundaries and change the conversations.”
In this episode of HL shorts Rachelle Schultz explains how she expects her CFO to contribute beyond finance, in areas such as innovation, value-based care, and population health.
