18 OCTOBER Panel Discussion II 10.00 a.m.-10.30 a.m. Catalyst for Change or Guardian of Stability? The Role of CFOs in Emerging Europe The role of the CFO is constantly changing, especially in emerging Europe where the function is still relatively new. In some cases, CFOs need to be the active drivers of change, for example when they try to professionalise a finance department. In other cases, they might think of themselves rather as guardians of stability, for example by reminding other executives about funding realities when chalking up expansion plans. How does the role of the CFO in emerging Europe change along with a company’s lifecycle and funding, with its ownership structure and the market environment? PANELISTS William Aird, CFO Europe, Kaspersky Lab, Russia/U.K. William joined Kaspersky Lab as Deputy CFO in 2010.
