The document summarizes the findings of a study on the financial experience of CEOs hired by large companies. The study found that less than 20% of CEOs hired in 2014 had experience in finance roles like CFO. Companies are looking beyond financial skills and prioritizing other qualities like business acumen, leadership, and vision. While financial institutions still emphasize financial knowledge in CEOs, most non-financial companies consider other skills like driving change and innovation to be more important.
