Private Equity CFO Q&A | GrowCFO X Zanda

In this exclusive session hosted by Zanda Co-Founder Andrew Waters—in collaboration with GrowCFO—we sit down with three seasoned CFOs operating in private equity-backed scaleups:

  • Jennifer Smith, CFO at Wildstone

  • Mark Grafton, CFO at Adarma Security

  • Kelvin Barber, CFO at 1000heads

They share real-world experiences of operating under PE ownership, navigating transformation, preparing for exits, and leading high-performing finance teams.
