Having found his original finance door of entry at Intel Corp. in the early 1990s, Pokorney credits the chipmaker\u2019s collaborative culture for prodding him to speak the language of others and tap the power of narrative. \u201cI wasn\u2019t there to create numbers for the engineering group that I was working with or the logistics organization that I ended up supporting, but I was there to be a business partner\u2014and when you\u2019re a business partner, you have to talk the language of the group you\u2019re working with,\u201d explains Pokorney, who would enter the ranks of entrepreneur CFOs after leaving Intel, where in a span of eight years he occupied the roles of finance analyst, finance manager, and group controller. Reflecting on a number of different CFO tours of duty, Pokorney is able to quickly bring forth detailed memories of different places and times when business challenges were addressed and lessons learned. While certain ilks of finance leaders have reduced their career highlights to a single stock price or capital raise, Pokorney can be counted among the finance realm\u2019s artful communicators who routinely draws people in by sharing wins, failures, and hard-earned insights. \u2013Jack Sweeney Do you want to learn more about the experiences that shaped today\u2019s finance leaders?
