As ambitious professional, I am sure you often dream about the next steps in your career.
Actually, you can very well visualize yourself in a high paying executive job but you are still trying to figure out the steps to get there.
Most of your finance colleagues have this already figured out.
It pretty much sounds like this: Financial Assistant, then Finance Manager, then Finance Director and, finally, CFO.

Sometimes it is hard to picture how you can reach board level as GRC professional.
And, most importantly, which skills you need to develop in order to be able to reach that level.
I had the same questions.

In the first episode of our brand-new podcast, I interview Felipe Dal Belo, an outstanding GRC executive who is now an advisory board member for several multi-billion corporations.
He did an amazing job in figuring his way out.
