Chief financial officer
Ideally a stable, steady, dull individual who, in his most passionate moments, extends to a fascination with model trains.
If your CFO thinks he materially contributes to the organisation’s profitability other than by just not buggering things up or, God forbid, believes his department should have its own P&L then my dear Euston, you have a problem.
