Landing your first job — and figuring out where it can lead — can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly why Office Hours exists.
In this episode, we’re joined by David Zinsner, Chief Financial Officer at Intel, who shares the unexpected decisions, risks, and mindset shifts that shaped his career — including becoming a CFO at just 36 years old.
From betting on an underdog spin-off when everyone told him not to, to realizing that staying open-minded sometimes means coming back to what you’re best at, David breaks down what actually accelerates growth early in your career. He also shares how listening first, learning the business deeply, and writing down your goals helped him lead across multiple organizations — and ultimately step into one of the most influential finance roles in the world.
