In this episode, we continue our conversation with Gary Crittenden, who shares experiences from his time as CFO of American Express, Citigroup, Melville Corporation (the then-parent company of CVS), and others. Gary shares his thoughts on whether decision-making and planning should be centralized or decentralized, how important taking care of employees is to enable successful change, where decision-making should happen in an organization, and how to manage innovation in a company where not everybody sees the value in the new thing.
This is the second of two episodes covering my conversation with Gary Crittenden.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
