About Jack Mc Cullough
As the Founder and President of The CFO Leadership Council (CFOLC), I have created a global organization to empower senior financial executives through innovative professional development programs and unparalleled peer networking. Under my leadership, the Council has been recognized as the premier organization for strategic and financial leadership. As a thought leader, CEO, CFO, board member, public speaker and author, I fully understand the challenges that corporate leaders face. Having been a successful executive across an eclectic mix of businesses, I have a wealth of experience to bring to the table. Today, I strive to share my knowledge, practical and academic experience with a wider audience by giving keynotes, coaching sessions, and interviews. I am a champion of diversity, equality, and inclusion, having implemented women's leadership initiatives and the Ascend program which awards memberships to the CFOLC to historically under-represented groups. As the visionary behind the MIT Sloan CFO Summit - the world’s most influential conference for financial leaders – I foster and support systemic change in the financial field across a swath of industries and international markets. Drawing upon my network of elite finance chiefs, I published my first book, Secrets of Rockstar CFOs, in 2019 and my second, The Psychopathic CEO, an Executive Survival Guide, in 2021. Other notable achievements include my ongoing contributions to the Forbes CFO Network, where I share insights on issues facing CFOs and their teams. As a recognized thought leader in the world of financial and strategic leadership, I am often contacted by media organizations, who appreciate my insights, candor and wit, such as the Wall Street Journal, The Business Journals, CFO Magazine, CFO Dive, Quarterly, and others. I have also been a special guest on TV channels such as Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, and Fox Business Network. Being an avid speaker, I have given speeches and moderated a number of prestigious conferences, podcasts, and webinars, such as: Agile Operations Summit, The Future of Finance Summit, Strategic CFO Forum, Prophix Virtual Summit, CFO Weekly, CFO Circle, MIT Sloan CFO Summit, and SuiteWorld. It is my core mission to work with early career professionals – the next generation of CFOs – and give them the tools that they need to flourish. I seek to create the financial leaders of the future and thus help the overall economy. Ultimately, my greatest satisfaction is to hear someone claim: “I'm a better leader thanks to Jack McCullough or The CFO Leadership Council.”
