Overview
Finance leaders today are tasked with more than just keeping the company out of the red; they are expected to create an agile, data-driven finance function that can help transform the way the company does business – from connecting insights across the organisation and future-proofing talent, through to mitigating risk.
Join us for this exclusive, invitation-only boardroom dinner where Ralf Marl, Director of Global Business Services at ALDI Süd, shares insight on his company’s current global finance transformation journey, discussing the importance of leveraging shared service models and advanced technologies to streamline processes and improve compliance. This session will explore how global business services (GBS) structures, process scoping, and KPI-driven governance are enabling efficiency and resilience, and provide participants with insights into early implementation steps and the role of change management in driving success.
