A big thank you to everyone who attended our recent CFO Series event in #Melbourne, featuring two of Australia’s top financial leaders: Farhan Faruqui, Chief Financial Officer, ANZ, and Vandita Pant, Chief Financial Officer, BHP. The discussion centered around the evolving role of the CFO—shifting from financial oversight to becoming key drivers of innovation, digital transformation, and strategic leadership in a rapidly changing business landscape. Key insights included the growing convergence between finance and technology, and the critical role CFOs play in fostering talent and navigating global economic challenges. A special thank-you to Simone L Tilley I GAICD I CEW our amazing moderator, and Jo Billing who wonderfully summarised the discussion. 🎉 We’d also like to extend a huge thanks to our partner Christopher Smith MD, Wipro and our supporting partner IBM for making the event a success. Special shoutout to Mabu Mabu, an Indigenous-owned, women-led, and LGBTQIA+ business, for providing the fantastic catering and creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere at Wipro's offices. It was truly an occasion to remember. A major takeaway from the event: Digital transformation is key to achieving business goals, and the collaboration between finance and technology teams will only strengthen moving forward. #CFOLeadership #DigitalTransformation #FinanceAndTech #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #ANZBank #BHP #emergingleaders Trans - Tasman Business Circle Johnny Weiss Noa Oziel Tanya Oziel Sharron Lloyd Cerise Devaux Maddison Holland
