In this episode of Planning Aces, CFO Kevin Rubin of Zscaler, CFO Bruce Schuman of Universal Technical Institute, and CFO Razzak Jallow of FloQast share how disciplined FP&A leadership is shaping AI adoption. Rubin frames AI as a capital allocation exercise governed centrally to prevent tool sprawl. Schuman stresses foundational readiness—data governance, ERP consolidation, and process redesign—before deploying AI-driven forecasting. Jallow cautions against fragmented “spaghetti AI,” advocating for platform coherence and skill development. Together, they reveal that AI success in FP&A depends less on speed and more on governance, architecture, and trust in the planning process.
