#86 - Jean-François Mady, CFO at Polestar - De CFO Podcast

We traveled to Gothenburg to sit down with Jean-François Mady, CFO of Polestar.

We discussed the delicate balance between rapid global scaling and the roadmap to profitability:

1. On scale: “If you do not reach a sufficient scale, you will never be able to absorb the investment and the fixed costs of your organization.”
2. On agility: “If you want to transform a company like Polestar, which is still loss-making, speed really matters.”
3. On strategy: “The hardest trade-off is choosing not to grow. Because there are opportunities everywhere.”
