The FORTUNE CFO Collaborative Boston
Fortune CFO COLLABORATIVE
The Fortune CFO collaborative will gather in person on November 9 at Deuxave restaurant, 371 Commonwealth Ave in Boston.
The CFO collaborative is an invitation-only group of CFOs from leading companies which meets virtually and in person for deep-dive discussions on what is top of mind for finance leaders in 2023. In November, our conversation will focus on What will the CFO role look like in 2024? Finance leaders everywhere know well what an extraordinary time it is to be a CFO, as the role is currently being redefined. In this intimate dinner discussion hosted in partnership with Workday and Deloitte, we will explore the evolving role and scope of the Chief Finance Officer. With automation, including technology like generative AI, finance teams will have to continue to reimagine themselves. And, in many cases, CFOs are taking on dual roles, including that of COO and growth officer. Other CFOs are moving into new roles like president or Chief Investment Officer. We’ll hear from industry leaders about how organizations are hungry to use the talents of CFOs in any way they can and what this means for the future of finance. We will be joined by Alan Murray, CEO, Fortune, Andrew McAfee, Principal Research Scientist, MIT; Inaugural Visiting Fellow, Technology and Society, Google, Sheryl Estrada, Senior Writer, Fortune CFO Daily, and some of the area’s leading CFOs. Complimentary participation is limited and by invitation only. |
