The Digital Middle Eastern FP&A Circle
Mastering the Art and Science of FP&A Storytelling

The event is proudly sponsored by:

Middle Eastern FP&A Board

 

Storytelling with data will certainly be a skill differentiator for the FP&A professional of the future.​ 

At the time of advanced analytics, flexible dashboarding and effective data visualisation, FP&A storytelling has become both an art and a science. But how can we master it? 

Join the Digital Middle Eastern FP&A Circle on June 6 at 5:00 PM GST to hear insights from senior practitioners and thought leaders about the winning formula for FP&A Storytelling.

A recording of the event will be shared afterwards with everyone who registers.

What is the International FP&A Board?

The International FP&A Board was created in London (UK) in 2013 and now has chapters in 29 cities and 16 countries worldwide. It aims to develop and promote the best practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), identifying and supporting new global trends, valued skill sets, and leadership practices.  

The Digital Middle Eastern FP&A Board will unite our Board members in Dubai. We are also looking forward to inviting guests from other areas in the Middle East where the FP&A Board has not yet been established.

Ramkumar Balasubramaniam

Ram is an International Banking CFO with a wealth of Finance experience working in Retail, Corporate and Investment Banks. He has led several Finance transformation projects and has leveraged the unique position of the CFO at the intersection of finance, technology and strategy to drive digitalization and inspire a data-driven decision-making culture. He is also engaged with the wider Finance community, often speaking at events on the challenges facing the function and how to be ready for the future or make the function future-proof.

Quote: CFOs are the go-to experts in the finance domain, but need to escape from the ‘curse of expertise’ that could make them overestimate their own knowledge and become closed-minded. They would do well to cultivate a ‘beginner’s mind’ and approach the new technologies with openness, curiosity, flexibility and a desire to learn, thereby unlocking many possibilities to become a value-adding finance function and, ultimately, the custodian of performance for the firm.
