The webinar was proudly sponsored by:

The Coca-Cola Company’s recent global digital transformation initiative within their McDonald’s Division (TMD) has increased the company’s confidence in their data and enabled them to make better decisions faster. In just 4 months they implemented their first use case (“app”) – a global P&L across 105 countries, connecting 100+ associates with centrally sourced assumptions and automated consolidation.

Over the next 12 months, TMD added multiple apps for business planning, quality and size-of-prize modelling in a unified ecosystem touching Finance, Sales, Marketing and Supply Chain functions, transforming the way they plan and report.   

At this Global FP&A Trends webinar, Victor Barnes, Global CFO, The McDonald’s Division at The Coca-Cola Company, shared their journey toward one source of truth and explained how they managed to improve their processes that previously took weeks or even months. 

The Panel:

  • Victor Barnes, Global CFO, The McDonald’s Division at The Coca-Cola Company
  • Jan Hill, Principal on Anaplan’s Accelerate team
  • Larysa Melnychuk, MD of FP&A Trends Group and Founder of the International FP&A Board.

VICTOR C. BARNES

VP/Global CFO, The McDonald’s Div. at The Coca- Cola Company

Atlanta, Georgia

Digital CFO, storyteller, & coach, Victor is a seasoned international executive with over 30 years’ experience in multiple industries, markets, cultures, and business models. Victor is currently Global CFO of The McDonald’s Division (“TMD”) at Coca-Cola which reports directly to the company CEO - providing Victor exposure to the company’s ELT and other board-facing executives. He was previously CFO of one of Coca-Cola’s 17 global business units (Canada). Victor’s team orientation and globally-recognized leadership excellence was honed as an Elite level basketball coach where he mastered the art of unselfish play, acknowledging the assist, and winning as a team! The result: transformed businesses positioned to capture growth. Within a year of Victor’s arrival at TMD, the team is a Digital pacesetter within the company – delivering the right data to decision-making on where to play and how to win.

With Big 4 CPA plus Internal Audit experience at Disney and Coke, Victor has deep exposure to industries ranging from manufacturing & electric utilities to real estate, entertainment and retail. Victor has led the financials of some of Coca-Cola’s most strategic packaging innovations (low cal mini-can, and their first stevia-sweetened carbonated beverage). He’s also been the financial expert on deals with some of the Company’s most strategic partnerships (Disney, MLB, NBA) plus a litany of customer deals.

A common thread throughout Victor’s career is that he typically arrived at a point of change - just before or after a major business acquisition or a new business model to deploy. Victor’s style is to listen more than talk, look for opportunities to build on ideas and win without looking for credit. He is a published author of an article on digital transformation and is a sought-after speaker at CFO forums around the world.
