Technology is reshaping finance, but the structure of the function determines whether transformation actually delivers. This panel explores how CFOs are redesigning their teams around agility, specialization, and intelligent automation without destabilizing day-to-day performance. Panelists will share how they're reallocating capacity, redefining roles, and clearing out legacy bottlenecks and what they've learned about bringing their people along through the change.

Every finance leader is being pitched on AI, but the reality on the ground is more mixed. This panel brings together CFOs who are actually piloting and scaling AI across close, forecasting, AP/AR, and analytics to share what's delivering value and what's still hype. Expect a candid conversation about governance, measurable ROI, and how they're preparing their teams for an increasingly agentic future without losing control of the fundamentals.
