Brian Montminy, CFO at Lessonly
I chat with Brian about:
- His career journey starting as a consultant with Accenture, followed by 5 years at JP Morgan Chase before taking the plunge into tech with Salesforce where he held various roles in the finance and strategy team.
- What Lessonly does and what it’s all about.
- Risk aversion and why finance leaders are less likely to take on personal risk as a finance leader.
- How Brian has had to evolve as the company has grown and how the finance function has changed during his tenure. For context, Brian joined Lessonly around Series A when the company was 24 people with 300 customers, and now the company is at 170 people with over 1,000 customers.
- The biggest misconception about the finance function within growth-stage software companies like Lessonly.
