June 23 Round Table

A confidential discussion for CFOs on AI governance, ROI, and responsible execution.

This roundtable is designed as a practical, peer-level conversation for finance leaders navigating the fast-moving realities of AI. We will explore how CFOs can evaluate AI investments, identify hidden costs, strengthen governance, and determine where AI can create measurable business outcomes rather than isolated experimentation.

Discussion Focus

We will use the session to explore:

How CFOs should evaluate AI investments before costs and risks scale
Where hidden costs typically appear in AI adoption
What responsible AI governance looks like from a financial leadership perspective
How finance leaders can pressure-test vendor claims, ROI assumptions, and execution readiness
How AI can move from productivity tool to strategic thought partner for executive decision-making
