Home / Perspectives / CFO Thought Leader: Cyrus Lam Discusses Strategic Financial Alignment for Enhanced Transparency and Growth Our Chief Financial Officer, Cyrus Lam, was featured on the CFO Thought Leader Podcast, where he discusses his journey as a finance leader, advice for aspiring CFOs, and outlines his vision for enhanced transparency and growth at Orion. Lam’s career began in India, where KPMG had recently opened an office. “I was the third person to join them as an article clerk and the first among them to qualify as a chartered accountant,” he explains. Lam’s drive and capabilities propelled hm through the ranks quickly. His fascination with technology eventually led him to KPMG’s technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) group in the UK, where he developed a reputation for his work with IT service companies and tech firms. In 2006, Lam relocated to New York to lead KPMG’s global TMT corporate finance team. Over two decades, he honed his expertise in mergers and acquisitions, valuation, and strategic advisory, collaborating with CFOs on transformative deals. However, stepping into the CFO role at CDI, one of his clients, presented him with new and uncharted challenges. Now CFO of Orion Innovation, Lam draws on lessons from his investment banking years while embracing the operational demands of finance leadership. Balancing strategic oversight with tactical precision, he demonstrates that leadership thrives at the intersection of experience and adaptability. Listen to the podcast.
