Darren Snellgrove -
Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer Global Pharmaceutical R&D,

A recent study found that the CFO’s role has become broader and more complex than even 2 years ago. Today’s CFO has an average of 6.2 reporting functional areas with a corresponding increase in responsibilities including board engagement and taking the lead in digital transformation initiatives.
Key takeaways for this session include:
* The modern CFO has many responsibilities, but understanding, analyzing and maximizing value creation is arguably the most important.
* A relentless focus on innovation is critical to creating long-term sustainable value.
* You must have a clear and well thought through capital allocation strategy in order to succeed.

Winning in a Downturn: Recession Strategies to Take the Lead
Tom Holland -
Partner,
Bain & Company
A recession will likely land soon, and structural trends will influence a new cycle, notably the accelerating technology revolution in many industries and the end of decades of low interest rates. Preparing now enables companies to gain market share and accelerate: Winners pulled away from losers during the last recession and widened the profit and market-cap during subsequent expansion, Bain’s analysis of nearly 3,900 companies shows. The winners excelled in four areas: early cost restructuring, financial discipline, aggressive commercial plays and proactive M&A. A four-point recession-readiness plan based on a company’s strategic and financial strength can help leadership teams prepare now.
Key takeaways from this session include:
•Why a recession may hit soon and likely implications
•What it will take to win
•How CFOs can shape the agenda

Reporting in the 2020s: How CFOs Can Drive Actionable Insight Not Just Meet Deadlines
Kevin Beckberger -
VP WW Solutions Engingeering,
Certent
Decisions can no longer be made based on numbers alone. Today, finance organizations must provide executives and managers detailed analysis and narrative to drive strategic decision making – and the process is infinitely more painful, disparate, and recurring.
This masterclass will cover research showing the challenges of reporting within organizations. And highlight in-practice examples of how global finance teams have disrupted reporting process inefficiencies with a more comprehensive approach resulting in reduced risk, improve controls, and higher quality, pixel-perfect outputs.
5:10 pm - 5:50 pm
Ensuring You Attract, Develop and Retain Top Finance Talent
Barry Payne -
Director- External Relations, Management Accounting,
CGMA
Delores Lenzy-Jones - Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, CPS Energy
John Regan - Managing Director, Swiss Re America Holding Corporation
Scott Page - VP Finance, Chart Industries
As the pace of change accelerates and new technologies emerge, it will become more and more critical for you to have command of your own and your team’s skillsets. Half (50%) of finance leaders surveyed for the CGMA report Reinventing Finance for a Digital World said that the competencies of their teams must “change significantly” over the next three years as technology takes over routine tasks and as finance teams seek to drive greater value. To thrive in our new digital world, finance and accounting professionals need to develop new skills and competencies. In this session we will explore:
- How leveraging digital technologies and analytics has changed the skills landscape.
- How this is driving new operating models and shapes of the finance function.
- The impact this is having on talent development and capabilities required.•How developing people is changing to meet the needs of the business.
- What mindsets and skill sets are important.
- And finally, what does a career path to finance leadership look like?
This panel will give you some practical examples of how to think differently around talent development in the face of new operating models and increasing value of the finance organization.
