5 years ago I was a financial controller in corporate accounting and made a career plan to get closer to the business in order to understand how a finance professional can add more value to a company. Now 5 years later I have been a business controller at divisional headquarters and am currently sitting as a country finance manager (the closest I can get to the business in my current company).
I have ambitions within general management and am aiming for the CFO spot in less than 10 years. If successful as CFO I would try and go all the way and make it to the CEO level.
However I would like some input on how I can bridge the gap between my current experience and what is needed to become a CFO at a large company? Most likely this will not be in US.
