The 6 a.m. CFO: How FiveNines Group's Ramnik Kapur starts her day

FiveNines Group CFO Ramnik Kapur says her days start around 6:30 a.m., even though she describes herself as a night owl. Working across Europe—often ahead of the U.K. time zone—has gradually made mornings more appealing, and she prefers the quieter stretch later in the day for solution-driven thinking. Kapur starts with tea, then typically does strength training and a one-mile run. When plans go off track, she says it often begins with a call from CEO Gerry, and the response is to stay calm, reassess priorities, and adapt. For her first work hours, Monday mornings are dominated by listening through Teams calls with direct reports and alignment with Gerry ahead of weekly priorities.
