#28: Scaling a Finance Function of a High Growth Company with Strategic & Institutional Investors

featuring Tiffany Hsiao, VP Finance at Rubikloud.

On this episode of The Backbone, I chat with Tiffany about:

1. Her time with PwC Vancouver and Melbourne where she worked on mining, real estate, infrastructure and manufacturing clients, prior to taking the plunge into tech at Rubikloud and what that transition was like for her.
2. Rubikloud and what it’s all about.
3. The biggest changes in her role as the company went through various rounds of financing, and the processes/procedures she had to put in place for the scaling finance function.
4. How she managed to serve the needs of both institutional and strategic investors.
5. Her learnings as a finance leader for a company that sells into enterprise organizations with long sales cycles.
6. The importance of the finance function at a technology company.
