One is the loneliest number. But two? A potential CFO headache, at least when it comes to CEOs.

Dual CEOs are all the rage. Last September, Oracle appointed Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia as co-CEOs. In the same month, Spotify announced Alex Norström and Gustav Söderström would take up dual chief exec posts. And Comcast added Michael Cavanagh to the business card with sitting CEO Brian Roberts. At Netflix, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters have been co-CEOs since 2023. The list is growing as more companies see the benefits of having two executive leaders.

But for the CEOs’ right hand advisor—the CFO—is pleasing two bosses more a hindrance than a help? What is it actually like for a CFO to work under two CEOs?

Too many cooks? Greg Richart is the CFO of Gensler, a design and architecture firm based in San Francisco that has two CEOs: Jordan Goldstein and Elizabeth Brink.

The number of open US jobs dropped to 6.5 million in December, marking the lowest level since 2020.

Job openings data was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Feb. 5, two days later than anticipated, due to a partial federal government shutdown that occurred earlier in the week.

The December decline was steeper than analysts had expected. Job openings declined steadily starting in September 2025, and stood at 6.9 million in November.

A number of external factors, including tariffs, geopolitical tension, and high inflation likely contributed to the pullback, Nicole Bachaud, a labor economist with ZipRecruiter, told HR Brew. “All of these things are adding layers and layers of uncertainty onto business outlooks,” she said.
