About

The rapid growth in both the volume of data and the ability to analyse it pushes the management of data high up on the list of senior management responsibilities. Data is an increasingly important strategic asset to be protected and managed for risk, but also leveraged for valuable insights that can drive commercial opportunities.

With the core focus of the Finance team on numbers and reporting as well as a custodian of the business, is it a natural fit for the CFO to be also the de facto 'Chief Data Officer'? When finance teams are already stretched, should CFOs add oversight of data management to their responsibilities? How can they ensure they use insights to underpin sustainable competitive advantage?

Attendees will discuss this evolution of the Finance function, and the risks and opportunities of taking on the mantel of the Chief Data Officer, with the help of a panel of experienced CFO speakers.
