Building Finance for Hypergrowth with Sowmya Ranganathan (Former Controller at OpenAI)
Finance doesn't get easier when a company grows 10x.
The close gets more complex. Systems multiply. Processes that worked last year stop working. And finance teams are expected to keep up with the business without scaling headcount at the same pace.
How do you build a high-performing finance function in the AI era?
Join us for a live conversation with Sowmya Ranganathan, founder of Lumera and former Controller at OpenAI and Rippling, hosted by Mateus Sgarbosa, Co-Founder of Glue and former Head of Finance at Azos.
