What does it really take to scale a business beyond passion and raw ideas?
In this webinar, we sit down with Mohamed Feras Al Midani, Certified CFO and Founder of MIQYAS, to explore the financial thinking and strategic habits that help founders build stronger, more resilient businesses. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in finance, Feras shares practical perspectives on understanding financial metrics, communicating numbers effectively, and using financial insight to guide business decisions. ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ: โข Strong financial leadership goes beyond accounting. Founders need to understand the story behind the numbers, question metrics like burn rate and unit economics, and use financial insight to make better strategic decisions. โข Clear communication and preparation build trust. Knowing your numbers helps founders communicate with teams and investors, navigate uncertainty, and make confident decisions when the business needs to adapt. โข Continuous learning, technology, and relationships drive long-term impact. AI is reshaping financial leadership, but purpose, trust, strong relationships, and a commitment to building your skills remain essential โ because, as Feras puts it, โmoney follows impact.โ Watch the webinar to discover how understanding your numbers, asking the right questions, and developing stronger financial awareness can help you make better decisions and build a more resilient business.
What does it really take to lead across borders and cultures?
What does it really take to lead across borders and cultures? In the first episode of the PitchPro Podcast Series, we sit down with Dr. Viviana Premazzi, intercultural trainer, researcher, and Founder & CEO of Global Mindset Developmentโข, to explore what it means to develop a truly global mindset. Dr. Premazzi shares practical frameworks for navigating cultural differences, building self-awareness, and communicating across diverse environments. We explore common challenges in intercultural and interreligious dialogue, how cultural differences shape leadership and collaboration, and what the future of global leadership looks like. One fun piece of advice she shared for developing a global mindset is refreshingly simple: start with food. Visit a restaurant from another culture, observe how people interact, stay curious, ask questions, and be open to doing things differently. Watch the episode to discover how curiosity, cultural awareness, and self-understanding can help you lead and communicate across borders.
