We eventually onboarded an Indian-origin CFO from a top 7 Global Consumer Giant, someone who could combine global experience with local agility โ€” and lead transformation at scale. ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1. ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†.
