Welcome to our non-exhaustive list of some of the top leaders in finance. Featuring 100 leaders who represent excellence in the field of corporate finance, we hope you enjoy our first ever Top 100 list. From graduates of engineering to multi-billion dollar controllers, each of these CFOs holds an incredible story and experience that has led them to the top of the ladder and the ultimate end-goal: the C-suite. It’ s been a year full of fluctuating markets and heavy macroeconomic changes brought about by unstable geopolitics. With the addition of a renewed interest in technology such as AI transforming the finance office, these CFOs have had their hands full. True leadership isn ' t just about the bottom line, as we take the time to recognise what it ' s really about: the vision, resilience and mastery behind the metrics that move markets.
