Join us when Dan Crumb, CFO, Kansas City Chiefs, explains how finance professionals help to energize organizational culture as they actively build relationships and embed financial tools across the enterprise. What do you wish someone had told you at the start of your CFO career?

\u201cFor me, there has never been a time when I wished that someone had told me this or that, because I\u2019ve always looked at every opportunity as sort of a blank canvas. As soon as I get started in a new position, I\u2019m instantly collaborating and finding out what I need to find out. So, it\u2019s about getting a lot of valuable information on the front end.

\u201cThe habit I have that I\u2019ve used throughout my life and career is trust. I place trust in the people with whom I work, and it is really a two-way street. They have to trust that I\u2019m taking them down the right path and that I\u2019m going to give them the resources they need. I\u2019m a trusting person, and to me, trust is a principle that I have embraced. I have found that it has suited me well as a foundational habit.\u201d \u2013 CFO Dan Crumb
