Global CFO Network

Attended an inspiring session today at the Global CFO Network ! Savita Iyer, the Regional CFO of The Walt Disney Company, persented us with her personal journey, discussing career growth, leadership, and the unique opportunities and challenges of working and moving across the globe. Writer Balli Jaswal delivered a thought-provoking session on Storytelling, discussing how we can incorporate narrative techniques into finance presentations to make them more engaging and impactful. Finally, we had the privilege of hearing from the Ambassador of the Philippines, who shared insights in a country full of potential.

A terrible photo from a great event! Thank you to the Global CFO Network and Simon Hayes for a really interesting morning. For me the highlight was listening to Balli Jaswal expound on the art of storytelling as the audience reflected on its applications in a business setting. It was an honor to be the HR interloper amongst the distinguished group of finance leaders Simon has built into a community. Thank you 🎉🙏

Just wrapped up an engaging event with fellow CFOs and Finance professionals — learning and exchanging ideas around our global careers, integrating storytelling skills in our roles, and exploring investment opportunities in the Philippines. Well moderated, and well organised by Global CFO Network. Was a lovely opportunity to meet friends from past lives, as well make new ones. Looking forward to applying learnings and continuing the conversation! #Leadership #CFOCommunity #StorytellingInFinance #GlobalGrowth #InvestPhilippines
