201. Leading through change, with Okorie Ramsey
Manage episode 378699972 series 2182858
This week, we meet a new leader for new times: Okorie Ramsey, the new chair of AICPA. He's a CPA, CGMA, and currently the VP of SOX at Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. and Hospitals.
Okorie plans to continue to build upon the platform of the most recent past chair of AICPA, Anoop Mehta, by helping others grow personally and professionally, driving DE&I initiatives and preserving trust in the profession. In addition, he plans to face our newest challenges, namely the rapid advancement of technology and our continuing challenge of filling our talent pipeline - making sure our profession remains viable.
With these challenges in mind, Okorie has a 3-pronged agenda:
- Innovation to advance the profession
- Instilling integrity and trust into sustainability
- Supporting the next generation and giving them advanced opportunities to succeed
I was fortunate enough to dive into these 3 priorities in depth with Okorie, discussing what the future holds for accounting & finance professionals.
