Episode Title:🇨🇭CFO Frameworks in an Uncertain World🇨🇭
We take a brief pause from the #HTBRICSSeries (BRICS & Geopolitics) this week on Heads Talk to spotlight a compelling release from the 💵 ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 & 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪💵 series.
In this timely and thought-provoking conversation, I’m joined by returning guest and Fortune 50 Executive Claudia Cordioli, now Group CFO at Zurich Insurance Group. In fact, given the breadth and depth of our discussion, this conversation could easily sit within the current BRICS and Geopolitics series, touching on governance, sovereignty, global markets, and systemic risk.
Claudia shares what’s energised her since stepping into the Group CFO role. She discusses Zurich’s approach to risk and resilience, the strategic use of AI across the business, and the evolving role of today’s CFO:- a favourite Heads Talk topic first explored with Claudia 4 years ago during her time as CFO at Swiss Re. We cover how Zurich is preparing for emerging liabilities; leading in an era defined by interconnected crises; and measuring ROI beyond the balance sheet. Claudia also reflects on the non-financial indicators that matter, and the skills she never expected to need but now sees as essential.
A vital episode that speaks directly to the major issues shaping the insurance sector and the global economy.
