Agenda Day 1

5:25 PM GROUP A: Future Skills: Empathy in the Age of Teams

Finance roles are evolving fast. They are no longer defined by control and reporting alone, but by the ability to influence direction, shape strategy, and create value beyond the numbers.

As automation and AI become embedded across finance, the skills and profiles needed in teams over the next three to five years will look very different from today. Technical expertise will still matter but so will data fluency, strategic thinking, and the ability to collaborate across the business. At the same time, as teams become more distributed and interactions increasingly take place in virtual environments, empathy and human connection are emerging as critical leadership capabilities.

In this interactive roundtable, led by Roberto Di Matteo, CFO, Takeda, we will explore what the finance team of 2030 needs to look like and how CFOs can begin preparing now. Alongside the evolving talent profile, strategic agility, and data fluency, the discussion will also focus on the human intelligence required in an automated world.

Join peers for an open discussion on how finance leaders can start building the skills, structures, and culture needed for the next generation of finance teams, balancing technological advancement with human connection.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Roberto.
