Finance Leaders

Build a network founded on shared professional goals and personal ventures with fellow senior executives.

A confidential peer group for CFOs, Finance Directors, and senior finance leaders to exchange insights, strengthen decision-making, and lead with confidence in an increasingly complex financial landscape.

This peer group brings together finance leaders from both multinational corporations (MNCs) and established SMEs to openly share experiences, ask candid questions, and seek trusted advice in a safe and confidential environment. Members use the group as a sounding board for real-world financial, organisational, and leadership challenges.

Finance leaders today play a critical role beyond numbers—balancing strategy, governance, risk, performance, and stakeholder expectations. Members represent diverse industries and organisational contexts, creating rich, experience-based learning that goes far beyond technical knowledge.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:

How can the CFO help to drive organic growth (excluding M&A)
Time to get tough on working capital?
How to deal with the growing burden of compliance?
What to do when global don’t get Asia?
Future Proofing – How to Prepare for a Black Swan Event
How can today’s CFO continue to be strategic?
Building and Retaining the Finance Team of today
What do I need to know about AI and Automation?
Ensuring Effective Transformation
Where are we on ESG Priorities and Metrics?
Virtual Working Revisited
Meeting the burden of compliance

From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.
Members of this group are from large or mid-sized Singapore-based companies and National Finance Director Unilever Singapore, Chairman of Westpac International, CFO of TÜV SÜD Global Product Services, Regional Financial Controller of Chubb Asia, COO at UWC South East Asia, Group CFO at Luxasia, Director – Accounting & Finance John Deere Asia and many more.
