Glenn Hopper who is Chief Financial Officer at Sandline

This is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours. 

A feature length episode with Glenn Hopper who is Chief Financial Officer at Sandline. 

Glenn is not your normal CFO, he started his passion in writing as a journalist and fiction writer. Listen to Glenn’s transition to business which is fascinating. Glenn then spent time in corporate finance before moving into setting up start-ups. 

Glenn’s passion for business is based on processes and systems which drive success in business. It is often thought of as unsexy, but it is critical if you want to scale a business. 

Glenn was a great guest and I hope you enjoy the podcast!
