CFOs See Clear Pathway to Growth Through Global Expansion

CFO perceptions about hiring and remote work have changed because of the pandemic, and that shift in thinking could help drive their global expansion plans.

The February 2021 global survey, which polled 215 chief financial officers, chief executive officers, and other senior finance executives, also revealed some interesting regional differences in how the executives view their companies’ prospects and how aggressive they plan to be with expansions.

CFO Research of Industry Dive and Globalization Partners conducted the survey, polling senior finance executives at companies in North America, the Asia-Pacific region (APAC), and the Europe, Middle-East, and Africa region (EMEA), including the United Kingdom. Most of the companies represented had annual revenues of 1 billion U.S. dollars or more.
