3 CFOs of the Year
The impressive speaker panel is fortified by the presence of 3 CFOs of the year. Robert Verbich – CFO for the Regions of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary & Head of Global Shared Services for EMEA at Osram – holds the prestigious title of CFO of the Year in Slovakia. His presentation is entitled: CFO as Strategic Decision Maker.
Our second award-winning CFO, Marek Gruszecki – Vice President of Finance at Quad/Graphics Europe – was awarded CFO of the Year in Poland. He will present a case study on moving towards smarter budgeting, planning and forecasting.
Last but not least, we have invited Daniel Burys, CFO at Kofola. Daniel was CFO of the Year in Czech Republic. His session at the conference is an inspiring story about a small local company finding funds at a small local stock exchange.
