I try always to be constructive lunch, as others on here do. It pays dividends.
My contacts are never going to share anything improper, but it becomes possible to piece things together over time.
And anyhow I know from my own experience that CFO can be a lonely furrow to plough.
Plus she is based in Brisbane, managing the finances of a company operating in Ecuador, with its main listing (for the time being) in London.
My most senior CFO role was much less demanding, but 20 months solit between the North and London preparing a £800m plus IPO destroyed my marriage.
She, Darryl and Ingo, who have the roles demanding the most travel while operating in 3/4 time zones, deserve our sympathy and support...
And also need to understand what PIs are thinking.
After all, apart from the specifics of managing as an institutional investor, we are all pretty much the same in our thinking and have access to much of the same information...
