Sustaining Rapid Growth through Finance Transformation
At this exclusive FDE roundtable discussion, we will be discussing the need for enterprises to truly embrace technology in order to successfully transform finance. The dinner will feature a keynote presentation from Willem van Wijmen, former CFO of Catawiki.
Founded in 2008 as, initially, an online catalogue and community for collectors, Catawiki launched an online auction platform for its members in 2011 and, 3 years later, topped the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 – making it the fastest growing company in the whole of EMEA with a growth percentage of 45080%.
Willem will discuss the finance transformation journey the organization undertook in order to support this expansion, and the need for core business systems that could help the firm stay agile and deliver on its fast-growth strategy. He will also provide insight into the challenges Catawiki faced during this journey, and the importance of the ’Golden Triangle’ of People, Process and Technology.
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.
