Embracing digital technology to transform finance

Exclusive FDE roundtable on Finance Transformation Success, and the increasingly influential role being played by digital technologies

As we all know, we are living in exciting and challenging times, where technology fuelled by data is creating new opportunities to unlock value through speed, control and insight, as well as creating opportunities to completely reimagine business models.

Therefore, at this exclusive FDE roundtable discussion, we will be hearing from finance leaders across different industries that will be sharing their experiences on the key enablers, as well as pitfalls to avoid, when undertaking any kind of finance transformation journey.

The session will be moderated by Brian Montgomery, Finance Director EMEA, APJ & Canada at Workday. Brian is responsible for the accounting and controllership functions for Workday in EMEA, APJ and Canada. He joined Workday in 2008 as part of the Cape Clear acquisition and will, during this exclusive roundtable, be exploring areas such as:

  • Do we have the right People with the right skill set?
  • Do we challenge our processes and invest enough in automation?
  • And ultimately, does Technology truly enable Finance to be disruptive?

This exclusive, VIP invitation-only event, which includes complimentary dinner and drinks for the duration, will enable you to network with like-minded finance professionals who are at various stages of their own transformation journeys and developing their functions to be more cost and time efficient.
