Future CFO: Balancing the Role While Embracing Tech

For the CFO of the future it’s all about being resilient in the age of digital transformation. The financial chief of today is tasked with balancing the traditional responsibilities of the role, while at the same time finding ways to adopt emerging technologies in order to boost productivity, streamline operations, and proposer economically. But for many large organizations, moving fast and embracing tech like Blockchain, artificial intelligence, automation, IoT, and data analytics through the cloud can feel like uncharted territory. So, who better to hear from than the C-Suite leaders diving head first into the technology revolution? We’ll gather leaders in the space to discuss the opportunities and challenges, real world use cases, and how they feel tech is helping them gain an edge.

Blockchain technology is still in its infancy but it has the potential to transform entire industries, especially the financial sector. When a trade is made, the capital can be tied up for days, to fix that, Wall Street is experimenting with the distributed ledger technology to speed up trade confirmations and settlements, simplify back-office functions and modernize the current system. In this panel you’ll hear from the pioneers in the financial industry who are using Blockchain to secure and upgrade post-trade infrastructure and change the way banks do business.
