By Aruna Jathar The role of the Chief Marketing Officer is evolving faster than ever. By 2030, CMOs will not just manage marketing budgets — they will shape truth, technology, ecosystems, and communities in ways that redefine what leadership means in business. To succeed, they must blend honesty, fluency in technology, and a deep commitment to building lasting value. The future CMO begins with truth. They are the voice that brings reality into the boardroom — about customers, products, and experiences — even when the message is uncomfortable. These truth-tellers build credibility inside organizations and foster brands that audiences can trust outside them. But truth alone won’t suffice. The CMO of 2030 must be AI-aware yet human-led — able to harness artificial intelligence for speed and scale while keeping empathy, storytelling, and ethics at the center. Technology will be their amplifier, not their replacement. They’ll also need to be technically fluent and strategically sharp. Not c...

by Aditya K Mehta The modern finance leader must sit down and ask: Am I still in an accounting frame, or am I re-anchored in enterprise value, culture, and complexity? The rewrite is full-scale. The final frontier belongs to those who lead between the numbers, not behind them. Despite this expanded scope, CFOs are under pressure. Decision fatigue and analysis paralysis are common. Data overload and the fear of failure can freeze leaders. CFOs juggle endless communications and meetings, making prioritization, delegation, and focus the new currency of effective leadership. There’s also an emotional toll. Many CFOs operate in high-stakes, low-thanks environments. When strategy succeeds, credit often flows to the CEO or business line leaders. When things go awry, only finance is expected to fix it. Navigating this dynamic requires not just competence, but resilience & humility. To thrive, finance leaders must rewrite themselves, not merely add to their portfolios. - Lead culture and ca...
