Our panel discussion

The evolving landscape of the finance function and how we can drive a positive change for women in the industry

One of the key themes of the International Women’s Day 2024 is supporting women and girls into leadership, decision-making, business and STEM. To unwrap this topic and dig deeper into what is changing and how we can be the driving force behind a positive change, we have invited a panel of prominent female leaders from the order-to-cash, AI and cyber-security sectors to share their unique perspectives, experiences and views. Here are some questions we will aim to unwrap in this discussion:

• Why do women in finance and tech matter?
• What trends and technologies are shaping the finance profession of the future?
• What is AI’s impact on the female workforce in finance and beyond?
• What strategies can help build a successful and resilient career in our sector?
• How can we as leaders inspire more women and girls to pursue studies and careers in finance?
