Client acquisition… but make it fun 😙

Could’ve sent a proposal.
Could’ve set up a proper pitch.
Could’ve done a full market breakdown.

Instead… we did this 💃

And if this doesn’t bring in new clients… we’re revisiting the strategy next week 😂

(but seriously, i hope this works! 🙈)

Client: “More experience please.”
Us: say less 🤝

At this rate we’re about to start sourcing from… way back. 😜

Jokes aside... Experience matters. But so does knowing what actually moves the needle!

From CFO to CEO… the path is clearer, not easier…

It’s a move more finance leaders are aiming for.

But what actually changes when you step into the CEO role?
And more importantly… are you built for it?

This week on Alchemy Uncensored, I spoke with Igor Marti, a former CFO turned CEO who’s led multi-billion dollar businesses across multiple regions.

We get into what that transition really looks like, what catches people off guard, and why not every CFO will enjoy being a CEO.

There’s a growing demand for this function across the region, yet many still don’t fully understand what it involves or why it matters.

First Friday of April spent well.

After what felt like a long and eventful March, we took some time as a team to get out, spend time together, and just enjoy it. A proper reset.

It felt like one of those brief pauses before things start moving again. The kind you appreciate a bit more when you know what’s coming next.

There’s a good energy around the team right now. Quietly positive, and ready for what’s ahead.
