In celebration of International Women’s Day 2020, Group Chief Financial Officer, Wendy Wang shared with FutureCFO on her perspective about the changing role of women in finance, particularly at the C-suite. She expressed that a CFO’s numerical age does not matter but, given today’s intergenerational workforce, it is important that they understand the various mindsets across the company. Their strategy should effectively be ageless. She also encourages her team to “lean in” on diversity and inclusion by looking for ways to promote gender and generational equality as a team. Companies should invest in mentoring programs, which can offer wisdom and insights to burgeoning professionals about how to invest time, stay motivated and raise their hands when opportunity arises. It will help keep more women in the field and on the leadership track.

With Asia seen as the region seen as the economic centre for the 21st century and China the origin-point for the COVID-19 outbreak, it is not surprising that businesses and governments of all sizes are struggling to figure out strategies to help them ride the seemingly unending train of disasters that are rolling across the region. Tricor Group CEO Lennard Yong shared with FutureCIO that companies today face an unprecedented number of potential challenges. The Tricor Group business insights survey, COVID-19 Business Sentiment & Resilience Barometer report, done in partnership with Yougov, revealed that businesses are being negatively impact by COVID-19 to the point where businesses are struggling to adapt, are feeling inadequately prepared to deal with the crisis, and are concerned about the future growth of their business. “As business leaders, we cannot always control the situation, but we can control how we react to it, particularly when it comes to dealing with disruptions to operations.” he added.
