The Interview: Haleh Fardi, Co-Founder & Chief Visionary Officer, ProCFO Partners
What does a CFO actually do—and why do so many organisations wait too long to bring one into the business?
In this episode of the Power in Excellence Podcast, Dr John sits down with Haleh Fardi, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of ProCFO Partners, for a candid discussion about the evolving role of the CFO and the strategic value that financial leadership brings to organisations.
Together, they explore the power dynamics between CEOs and CFOs, the psychology of leadership and identity, French and Raven’s Five Bases of Power, how context affects communication, and the growing importance of fractional CFOs in helping organisations scale effectively without the need for a full-time finance executive.
Whether you’re a business owner, senior leader, finance professional, or simply interested in how influence, power, and decision-making shape organisational success, this conversation offers valuable insights into one of the most misunderstood roles in business.

• The power dynamics between CEOs and CFOs
