When Evan Fein accepted his first CFO position more than a decade ago - his focus as a finance leader was too narrow according to the CFO, who in a moment of self-reflection can\u2019t conceal his exacerbation.

\xa0"Ashamed is not the right word, but I'm such a better CFO now than I was then,\u201d remarks Fein, who gives his younger self some kudos for having helped to champion the company\u2019s business model as well as extending the organization\u2019s lines of sight into the future.

Still, there\u2019s little question Fein finds the notion of time travel appealing.
