Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered the full CFO seat, a security business unit or corporate FP&A and controllership. Ask them for one revenue forecast, business unit plan or spending decision they owned and what moved it most.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through a time you had to cut a security project or delay a purchase. What made you choose that project, and what happened next?
- 02When you forecast security spending, what costs surprised you most, and how did you adjust your next budget?
- 03Tell me about a tool or service you recommended that didn't get approved. What was the real reason it didn't happen?
