Speaker: James Goode, Group CFO PA Media Group (2019-24)
Chair: Chris Wallis, NED Element Human

During six years as Group CFO, James helped double PA Media Group's EBITDA. Key to this was delivering a buy-out of the group's DB pension scheme to enable the business to embark on a growth strategy underpinned by diversification and M&A. At the same time, James developed the role of the finance function with broad responsibilities and as a business partner. Through this case study, attendees will be able to explore the evolving role of the CFO as a strategic value driver in the business.
