Books To The Boardroom
In Conversation With Rod Facey, CFO of REIQ
Today we are talking to Rod Facey, CFO of REIQ.
Rod talks us through his career and life and how he handled all the challenges that came at him with integrity. A natural leader, Rod got a chance at leadership at an age much younger than most.
He talks about how he handled a redundancy with dignity, how he determined what type of work he wanted to pursue, and what it was life to be in charge of a financial department during the GFC.
A man with a unique leadership style to talk about when it’s appropriate to be transparent and when you should choose to keep some details to yourself.
With a clear passion for Real Estate, he shares his investment journey, as well as some wild travel stories.
Jack Ferguson is the co-host.
