What are your top priorities as Google’s CFO?
Look, I’ve just arrived. [But] what a good CFO does is, first, the compliance portions. You make sure the corporation’s protected, no one goes to jail, everything is in order. Second, you make sure the company never runs out of resources — i.e., cash — and I have the great pleasure that I don’t have to worry about that for a while. And the third priority of a CFO is pushing to make sure all the resources are used efficiently, that you *feed the winners, starve the losers*.
