What does it take to build a finance function from scratch? Madhumitha Murali, VP Finance at fiskaly, recently joined our torq.women Lunch&Learn format to talk about exactly that. She has built and led finance in high-growth companies, led M&A, and now drives AI transformation across an entire organisation. In our Lunch&Learn session, she shared what her journey has taught her. Three things we took away from her: → Double down on your strengths. Don't try to fix every weakness into mediocrity. You'll be remembered for what you're great at, so make it even stronger. → The right people at the right time: Someone can be the perfect fit today and the wrong fit in two years. Recognising that early is a leadership responsibility. → Mindset beats skill. In a world of constant change and AI disruption, a curious mindset that embraces failure will outlast a polished skill set every time. Thank you, Madhu, for your honesty and perspective!
