He founded the CFO Leadership Council, a global organization dedicated to empowering senior financial executives through innovative professional development programs and peer networking.
He is working on his second book, The Psychopathic CEO: An Executive Survival Guide. According to one study, 21% of American CEOs may be psychopaths, which is higher than the prison population. This books will help executives identify a psychopath in the corner office, and develop a survival strategy for themselves and their companies.
Jack previously published Secrets of Rockstar CFOs, which was based upon interviews with 40 of the world’s best chief financial officers, from Silicon Valley startups to Fortune 50 multinationals. He is also a senior contributor to Forbes, where he is the most well-read author on the CFO Network.
Jack is a sought-after public speaker, who can bring humor and energy to a crowd. While he can talk quantitative and technical issues with the best of them (he does hold an master’s degree from MIT, after all), his focus is largely on the people side of financial leadership: team building, strategy, executive communications, and such. His most popular presentation is Secrets of Rockstar CFOs, based upon his book. He has also spoken on The Psychopathic CEO, Executive Communications, The Future of Finance, Generation Z, and many other topics.
