Imagine you’ve spent the better part of two decades as a CFO at one of the largest companies in the world. Then, you find a great opportunity in a startup.

Could you handle the transition? 

This week’s guest doesn’t have to imagine. Joel Krutz did just that for a chance to help make the world more sustainable, while still providing value for shareholders, as Chief Financial Officer at Crown Electrokinetics (NASDAQ: CRKN). He joins the show to share the lessons he’s learned from the experience.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What compelled Joel to make the transition

• How an SEC-traded startup requires a CFO who is part engineer, part artist

• How Joel thinks about hiring 

• The role of empathy plays in success as a startup CFO
