Craig Conti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Verra Mobility, has shared advice on career decisions and discussed his approach to leadership and financial management. In a 2025 appearance, Conti stated that when considering a new role, candidates should "overindex on culture" as the most important factor, arguing that working at a place with shared values makes it "really hard for you to have a bad experience." He added that "the job will solve itself if the culture is there and a part of that culture shows up to you as trust." In earlier 2023 interviews, Conti recounted a difficult experience from his time at GE Capital, where he discovered a "material issue on the balance sheet" that attracted attention from headquarters and the SEC. He described choosing to "raise the issue, be a very unpopular person, and push it through," calling it a "defining moment" that taught him to "put the numbers aside sometimes" and follow his moral judgment. Conti also outlined his philosophy for FP&A teams, saying he wants them to "educate the operational and commercial leaders of the business what a return on capital actually looks like" and to explain why certain investments are better for the company and its customers, rather than acting as a "wizard behind the curtain" making decisions alone.
