Finance Leaders

Cultivate a network that is built on mutual professional aspirations and personal ventures with other senior executives.

This confidential peer group brings together finance leaders to share their experience, ask questions, and get advice to support their personal and professional development in this field.

The group shares their experience in areas ranging from strategy development to effective execution with a view to identifying “best practice” and creating “next practice”.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:

How can the CFO help to drive organic growth (excluding M&A)
Time to get tough on working capital?
How to deal with the growing burden of compliance?
What to do when global don’t get Asia?
Future Proofing – How to Prepare for a Black Swan Event
How can today’s CFO continue to be strategic?
Building and Retaining the Finance Team of today
What do I need to know about AI and Automation?
Ensuring Effective Transformation
Where are we on ESG Priorities and Metrics?
Virtual Working Revisited
Meeting the burden of compliance

From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.
