What do CFOs truly expect from their second-line finance leaders?
As finance evolves from control and reporting to driving real enterprise value, the bar for senior finance leaders is higher than ever. In this session, Hemant Kumar Ruia, Country Manager – Subcontinent (India) at DP World, shares a global CFO’s playbook for business partnering at scale, showing how finance leaders can become trusted, strategic allies to the business.
Drawing on DP World’s experience in complex, asset-heavy and globally distributed operations, he will explain how senior finance leaders can speak the business language, collaborate seamlessly with operations and commercial teams, influence decisions early and turn financial insights into strategic impact—essential skills on the path to the CFO seat.
