Episode Synopsis


Replacing the CEO and CFO at the same time often looks decisive to boards, but it quietly strips a company of both its operating and financial memory. This episode explains why simultaneous CEO–CFO exits trigger capital risk, erode lender and investor confidence, and slow execution through internal paralysis. A clear warning for boards under pressure, focused on why succession is a sequencing problem, not a symbolism exercise, and how poorly timed leadership changes can turn renewal into instability.
