CFOs - Leading the AI Strategy

This session will focus on how CFOs can lead the development and execution of their company’s AI strategy with a clear focus on business value and measurable outcomes. We’ll cover practical steps CFOs can take to align AI investments with strategic priorities, manage risk, and drive accountability for results. The discussion will include a straightforward framework and real-world examples to help finance leaders move from planning to implementation. Attendees will leave with a clear list of actions to apply within their organizations.

Before the keynote, we'll kick things off with a PD Session: “The Evolving Role of Finance Leaders – Navigating with Technology and Foresight”

A look at the top priorities for finance leaders — among them, security and privacy of data, AI in finance, and financial and strategic planning and analysis in a time of economic and price volatility— points the way toward evolving roles and the tools to navigate change for leaders whose responsibilities continue to expand in challenging ways.

Join Robert Half and Protiviti as they address the growing list of priorities faced by both leaders and professionals. In this session, we explore the results of Protiviti’s 2025 Global Finance Trends Survey and offer practical takeaways for finance leaders to address these challenges and how to identify technology and talent skills gaps for achieving short- and long-term business objectives.
