The first installment of the series features Ken Goldman. Ken will share his keys to professional success including how he got to be a CFO and how he has found repeated success in his career. Ken is currently the CFO at Fortinet, (RTNT), where he recently completed the company’s IPO, the third of his career. Prior he served as SVP and CFO of Siebel Systems from August 2000 until the close of Oracle Corporation's acquisition in January 2006. Earlier, he held CFO positions at Excite@Home, Sybase, Inc., Cypress Semiconductor and VLSI Technology.

He is a member and the former president of The Financial Executive Institute, Santa Clara chapter, and was formerly a member of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Advisory Council (FASAC) from 2000 to 2004.

In this interview series, Cliff will attempt to bring to the surface pivotal career decisions, good breaks realized, and challenges overcome along the path to success in acquiring the ‘keys to the executive suite”.

“Professionals come to Proformative to learn and get work done.
