704: When Investors Come to Mind | Puneet Pamnani, CFO, KORE Wireless
When asked about a personal habit that has served him well over the years, finance leader Puneet Pamnani raises his voice slightly and seeks to mimic the
delivery of his wifes tone: This is what you do for a hobby? You read company annual reports?
To which
Pamnani defends his favorite pastime with the retort: I find them interesting!
Although it might seem difficult to imagine this exchange
taking place on sandy beach vacations and holiday escapes, it nonetheless remains an example that Pamnani uses to illustrate his relentless curiosity for how businesses operate and perform.
According to Pamnani, this curiosity has led him to regularly attend the annual shareholder meeting of Berkshire Hathaway, the major event for many value
investors and fans of Warren Buffett, among whom Pamnani proudly includes himself. Its perhaps no surprise, then, that Pamnanis reading pastime is one that Buffett has long enjoyed and encouraged others to pursue.
Ive been to every Warren Buffett annual shareholder meeting in the past 10 years, says Pamnani, who quickly adds: But not the last
one, that was hardsignaling the environment related to COVID.
Of course, Buffett is renowned not just for the investment and business
insights themselves that he serves up but also for how he serves them up using clear, concise language that every investor can understandand its here where Pamnanis relentless habit and professional life are
perhaps about to converge as at no other previous time.
The CFO arrives at the center of the process when a company goes public, explains
Pamnani, who back in 2018 entered the CFO office at KORE Wireless, a provider of mobility and network connectivity solutions that is expected to go public later this year.
Helping KORE to realize its IPOs ambitions is just latest chapter of a transaction-driven career in which at times Pamnani has worn multiple hats, including
those of CFO, COO, and chief strategy officer.
As a privately equitybacked firm, KORE has been very commercially focused, but its now
time to balance that out, and as we maintain our focus on revenue and profits, we need to be more focused on compliance in order to become one of the best publicly listed companies of our size, observes the increasingly investor-minded
Pamnani, who tells us that he keeps a volume of Warren Buffetts letters to shareholders on a shelf nearby.
These are his actual letters, word
for word, compiled as a book. You also can also find a summary on Amazonbut this is not a plug, remarks Pamnani, who, perhaps like Buffett, just wants to share his methods. Jack Sweeney
