For CFOs steering companies through major transitions, transformation is rarely linear. After external shocks reshape markets, the path from stabilisation to growth demands patience, clarity, and partnership at the highest level. This session explores how the CFO and CEO partnership can redefine an organisation’s future, rebuilding financial resilience, restoring credibility, and preparing the foundations for renewed growth. This session will examine how finance can lead from the front during consolidation, align boards and teams around a shared direction, and sustain momentum when transformation proves slower and harder than expected.

Key Takeaways:

• Building alignment with CEOs and Boards during multi-year transformation and recovery cycles

• Translating financial stability into a platform for sustainable growth and renewed confidence

• Balancing cost discipline with targeted investment in future value drivers

• Managing the realities of transformation fatigue while keeping teams focused and engaged

• Strengthening finance’s strategic role as both stabiliser and growth catalyst
