Description

Today’s CFO is a business advisor, change agent, business value architect and more. Evolving to a visionary role, the modern CFO must transform themselves, their teams and the perception of finance across the entire enterprise to that of strategic advisor and partner. Easily said. Harder to do! Eileen Kamerick is a National Association of Corporate Directors Board Leadership Fellow and SEC Financial Expert who is currently serving as a Board of Directors Member for three NYSE corporations and one LSE corporation. No speaker is better placed to guide us through the maze of being a “strategic and collaborative executive who drives profitable growth while significantly enhancing stakeholder value”!

Eileen’s presentation will be followed by an insightful panel discussion on how to elevate finance to trusted advisor and value-adding, business partner. Join the conversation and hear how to actively take finance out of its silo, listen to other stakeholders, add value and improve strategic decision-making for the business.
