Happy New Year! This year, I’m embarking on a journey to deepen my skills and knowledge in the digital space — and I’ll be sharing my learnings with you through this monthly newsletter.

While we often talk about it as if it’s a single concept, digital currency is actually a family of innovations  built on the same foundational technology: blockchain . Now is the right time for business leaders to deepen their unde

With the last post of this calendar year, I want to close my three-part series on burnout with a note of optimism. The first post explored the causes  of burnout; the second addressed strategies to manage it . This final post asks: How do we move beyond simply managing burnout to actually harnessing it as a force for growth? Because let’s face it: not all circumstances are within our control. Toxic leadership, rigid organizational cultures, or chronic understaffing may not sh

In last month’s post, I shared thoughts on burnout—an issue that touches nearly every workplace. Burnout isn’t just stress or feeling overwhelmed; it seeps into every corner of life.

While it’s often framed as an “individual problem,” burnout is structural too—shaped by workplace cultures and systems. That’s why recovery requires both personal resilience and organization

As the year draws to a close, mental well-being is very much on my mind. Before the rush of the holidays adds another layer of stress, I’ve been reflecting on what it really takes to function at our fullest potential every day. The truth is, we all carry a multi-dimensional weight of responsibility—showing up for our families, friends, colleagues, and ourselves. Over time, this relentless balancing act begins to chip away at our mental health. In the workplace, that erosion o

In this edition, I’m taking digital transformation from abstract discussion to concrete success and sharing a real story.  I had the privilege of working alongside a small but determined finance team that took a leap, embraced change, and delivered results beyond expectations. Here’s how it happened. Undervalued, Under-Resourced—and Ready to Change As a department, we were one of the smallest in the organization. To many of you reading this newsletter, the reason will be all

In my previous edition, we explored the top five reasons digital transformations fail—and offered practical ways to course-correct. Despite significant investment in time, money, and effort, research  shows that 70% of digital initiatives still fall short . That’s a staggering statistic—and one that continues to surprise leaders across industries. While quick fixes can help regain momentum, lasting success requires a different approach. So in this one, we are flipping the que

Digital transformation sounds great on paper—until you’re the one trying to lead it. The promise is compelling: a connected technology stack, seamless data visibility, and insights that drive smarter decisions in real time. It's where every organization wants to be. If you are reading this article, then you are likely to have worked on a project that promises to solve all of your data problems or have tried to get your organization moving on one.  Yet, despite the effort and

Ever feel like your finance team is held together by duct tape and grit? :  You’ve been running lean for years—one person handling expenses, another juggling revenue, and reporting squeezed in wherever it fits. You know there is a critical separation of duties and controls you must keep in place but the workload keeps growing. New accounting standards keep coming out and so more and more expertise is required. And now you are being asked to be more strategic and forward-looki
