AI in Finance: Exploring the Leading Edge
Give feedback
AI is already inside the finance function, changing how decisions get made, how data gets interrogated, and how the CFO's office allocates its attention. But adoption is uneven, the use cases are still being sorted, and the gap between proof-of-concept and genuine transformation remains wide.
In this session, Raghuram Krishnan, Senior Director - Finance at Adobe, brings a practitioner's perspective from one of the world's leading software companies to examine where AI is genuinely moving the needle in finance. The conversation will focus on how the function is being reorganised around AI-native workflows, what it takes to move from isolated pilots to embedded capability, and how finance leaders are rethinking the role of human judgement in an increasingly automated environment. It will also address the less-discussed challenges such as data readiness, change management, and the governance questions that tend to emerge once AI is inside core financial processes.
