EVOLUTION OF THE MODERN CFO  
Hosted by Instacart  
Traditionally, the CFO's role was focused on the accuracy of accounting data, compliance, financial reporting, and risk management. Businesses today require an expanded approach that includes additional competencies: broad leadership skills, a deep understanding of commerciality and corporate strategy, facility with supply chain and change management. What are the priorities and challenges for today's modern finance leaders? How do CFOs harness advancements in data and technology – and integrate new technologies such as generative AI – to propel their businesses forward?
