Ardent Partners hosted The CPO Rising 2K20 Virtual Series – The Resiliency Imperative as a way to bring together our global community of procurement, finance, and supply management professionals and collectively tackle the big issues we were all facing and continue to face as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. As a special treat for all our readers, Ardent is excited to present the recorded sessions from that Virtual Series.

At a time when cash is more important than ever, there is, perhaps, no more important executive than the CFO. Gain a view into how CFO’s should be responding to the Coronavirus pandemic with Vic Chynoweth, CFO and COO of Jaggaer, as he discusses what a CFO needs to do to lead their company in the time of the Coronavirus. Vic’s advice includes:

• “The worst mistake a CFO can make in times like this is overconfidence and bravado.”
• “Liquidity, cash management, optimizing cash, visibility and alignment, are critical. CFOs need to understand what this means to their company and how they need to respond to it.”
•  “CFOs must consider how they can help both employees and customers – they need a people first mentality.”
• “The most important part of a CFO’s job is to help businesses make good decisions, and improved communication with procurement is critical.”
