Finance leaders have always owned the numbers. But today, they must connect them to every decision, function, and risk across the business. In this panel discussion led by Workiva’s Chief Customer Officer Penny Ashley-Lawrence, CFOs from across industries will share how they're navigating AI disruption, regulatory complexity, and growing stakeholder scrutiny while driving growth and long-term value.

How do you translate fragmented business signals into a coherent narrative? How do you make confident decisions on data you can stand behind? And how do you deploy AI in ways that improve decision-making without introducing new risk? Hear directly from leaders who have faced these challenges, and come away with concrete perspectives on what it takes to lead through them.
