Overview
As organisations move beyond traditional automation, the focus is shifting towards autonomous operations powered by AI, intelligent platforms, and process orchestration. This exclusive CFO Roundtable will bring together senior finance leaders to discuss how AI-driven operating models can improve decision-making, enhance productivity, strengthen governance, and accelerate business outcomes. We will be joined by David Hughes, SVP Quote to Cash & BPO at Xerox, alongside Hitesh Gulati, Alliance Lead at Google Cloud, and Upjit Ghuman, EVP & Global Head of BPO at HCLTech, who will discuss areas such as:
- The evolution from automation to autonomous operations

- Embedding governance, trust, and control into AI-powered operating models
- Building scalable, outcome-driven finance and business operations
- Balancing productivity, risk management, and growth

This invite-only discussion will offer CFOs and senior finance leaders an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share experiences, and explore practical approaches to engineering autonomy at scale.
