​High‑growth companies often crack under weak financial foundations. Strong finance operations extend runway, reduce risk, and give leaders the freedom to focus on strategy and scaling.

​This session brings together experienced finance leaders to share practical frameworks and real‑world stories on cash flow, operating discipline, and building profitability that can withstand market shocks and rapid company evolution. You’ll leave with specific tools you can adapt to your own team and board conversations.

​Panelists:

​Joe Manganelli, Chief Revenue Officer at Amalgam, Founder & CEO of Calculate (acquired)

​Christina Ross, CEO of Cube

​Kurt Chessman, VP, Strategic Finance & Corporate Development at Primary Venture Partners

​Jennifer Yousem, Founder of I Heart EBITDA
