#273 How CFOs Can Increase Company Valuation, Matteo Turi, Chief Operating Financial Officer, Letoon Holding Ltd
In this episode, CFO Matteo Turi introduces the "valuation triangle," a three‑part framework he co‑developed with the University of Plymouth to turn companies into investable assets. The first side focuses on monetizing intellectual property—licensing, franchising, joint ventures—to create intangible value that now makes up 90% of S&P 500 worth. The second side builds a "leadership engine" through succession planning and a balanced executive team (sales, operations, finance) that makes that IP transferable and sustainable. The third side pushes firms into global markets, leveraging their IP and partnerships to scale internationally, while the CFO acts as a "valuation architect" or Chief Value Officer.
