Today’s CFOs are navigating unknown territory. The best practices of yesterday are no longer enough and smart CFOs are tapping into new ways to adapt, thrive and take their businesses to new heights.

Watch this webinar hosted by Katty Coulson, NetSuite VP of Product Team Information Technology.

These top female finance leaders discuss practical advice on navigating the unknown, including:
- How to adapt and create an environment of flexibility in uncertain times.
- Navigating changes in the economy and exceeding customer expectations.
- Best practices in creating a business strategy for continuous growth.

Whether speaking to the board or solidifying a seat at the table, women aren’t always given the opportunity to make their voices heard. Particularly in finance roles it can be difficult to earn the trust and credibility that their counterparts are often afforded. Yet as the role of the CFO continues to change—now encompassing everything from data analysis to crisis management—women are uniquely positioned to bring companies much needed gender diversity that can have a significant impact on an organization’s performance and sustainability.

Watch our webinar, where we’ll discuss the importance of female finance leaders honing in on and developing their authentic voice by:
- Extending their influence beyond the finance team.
- Driving focus on strategic growth initiatives.
- Improving efficiency with automation.
- Preparing for regulatory changes.
- Communicating with impact.

Data supports that firms with female CFOs produce superior stock price performance compared to the market average. But despite this, women are still largely underrepresented in the field, even with recent gains. More than ever, female CFOs are advocating and sharing their unique stories—helping to drive diversity in their organizations and assisting other women with getting a seat at the table.

We bring together a panel of female finance leaders to discuss:
– How to tell your story
– Sharing your unique background and skills, whether you’re interviewing, sharing data with your team, or advocating strategy to your board.
– Why it’s important to have women in financial leadership roles to help bolster corporate growth, returns, and market valuations.
– Why women are uniquely positioned to excel as the CFO role expands beyond the traditional finance background.
– How to find mentors and role models, as well as become an ally for other women.
