Testimonials
“I started my finance career under Katja's leadership, and I can honestly say it shaped everything that followed. The CFO Academy distills what I learned over years into a powerful, structured program. If I had this roadmap earlier, I would’ve accelerated even faster. Today, as Head of Finance for an international company, I still apply the principles I first learned from this approach. It’s not just career advice — it’s a mindset shift.”
