IT’ S A CHILLY NOVEMBER IN LONDON, and I’ m looking forward to the way the leaves crunch underfoot as I take a break from screens outside the office.

However, it’ s been a packed few weeks celebrating a successful maiden CXO Summit, which brought together leaders across four key industries, including finance, which you can read all about inside this edition.

It’ s no surprise that my favourite was the Sustainability in Finance Panel, as more emphasis on nature and climate being a long-term investment emerge.

For finance chiefs looking at sustainable bonds and optimising debt, ING’ s Head of Sustainable Solutions, Arash Mojabi gives us a look at how CFOs can best strategise.

Vijay Padmananhan stars as our interviewee this month, providing a unique expert insight on how to keep an eye on tech, as he forges his career as the finance chief of a start-up to CFO of globally-known UST.
