About Session
Will AI make finance professionals obsolete? Not even close. AI and automation are reshaping finance, but they can’t replace your judgment, creativity, or influence. In this session, 3X former CFO turned Founder/CEO of Cube, Christina Ross, will explore how technology enhances, rather than replaces, finance professionals. Discover where automation delivers the most value—streamlining data preparation, accelerating forecasting, and sharpening variance analysis—and where AI extends your reach with faster insights and pattern recognition. Just as important, see where the machines leave off and your human insight remains irreplaceable: framing strategy, aligning stakeholders, navigating uncertainty, and telling the story behind the numbers. Attendees will leave with a clear view of how to leverage AI and automation without losing control, ensuring that finance becomes not just faster and more accurate, but smarter and more strategic.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how AI is reshaping the CFO toolkit beyond spreadsheets and manual workflows
- Anticipate the evolving role of finance leaders in an AI-driven business landscape.
- Position yourself to harness AI for smarter, more strategic decisions without losing the human edge.
