Linda Huber, Chief Financial Officer at Accelerant Holdings, previously served as a public company CFO and received the Arjay Miller CFO Award in 2006. In a talk recorded that year, she discussed lessons from her first year as a public company CFO, advising audiences to prepare thoroughly, know their bosses' priorities, set a limited number of goals, understand their organization's strengths and weaknesses, and play to those strengths. She also noted the importance of prioritizing and learning to say no, and remarked that she found the ladies' room "more colorful" as one of relatively few women CFOs at the time. During the same talk, Huber described challenges in predicting earnings due to quarter-end spikes in structured deals and sensitivity to the credit cycle, while noting that international diversification across Japan, Europe, and China helped offset cyclical pressures. She also mentioned that some days are difficult despite strong results, citing an earnings call where the company announced revenue growth of 13 percent, operating income growth of 12 percent, EPS growth of 26 percent, and a 54 percent operating margin, along with a deal in China.
