Sophie's 'Future CFO' series has given incredibly valuable insight, the speakers were excellent and the format worked really well. Each time I left with reams of notes and I have used them practically over the last few months which has had a direct impact on my performance at work - I was promoted to CFO in Sep-23 and this network has helped me think bigger and feel more confident in my new role.
