Dan Crumb, CPA (inactive), CGMA, is a repeat guest on the JofA podcast, because, as CFO and executive vice president of the Kansas City Chiefs, his team is back in the Super Bowl for the second year in a row and the fourth time in five seasons.
It’s a run he’d like to see continue and one that has presented the franchise with expanded revenue opportunities.
In this episode, Crumb discusses the NFL’s first online-only playoff game, how the team’s finance function uses artificial intelligence (AI), and how he maintains balance in his life. And, of course, we asked him about Taylor Swift.
