09 A new era for finance & CFOs

Yiannis is the (now-ex) CFO of Sanofi for South Europe, and is currently on a break, pursuing further studies in philosophy. Yiannis has spent almost the last 16 years at Sanofi - and has amassed a great amount of wisdom over that time. We got to discuss the merits of commitment over moving jobs every few years, the story of finance upper-management and how it has changed in every large firm over the last decade, and how "mentorship should be 2-way". Come for Yiannis' wisdom & incredibly articulate insights, stay for a cracking conversation with Indus Khaitan, founder of Quolum.
