On Wednesday April 25th over 150 senior treasury professionals from throughout Asia Pacific gathered at the Four Seasons hotel in Singapore to celebrate diversity at our fifth Women in Treasury Asia Forum.
A diverse line up of senior industry speakers shared their experiences and insights on a broad range of issues affecting many women and men working in treasury across the region, whilst also offering some valuable advice to the audience. Our 2018 Singapore panellists were:
- Florence Tan, Head, Treasury, APAC, M+W Group
- Christopher Emslie, Asia Regional Treasurer, General Mills
- Crystina Hickey, CFA, Vice President, BlackRock
- Chédia Haddouchi, Treasury Manager, APAC, Uber
Before a three course lunch, the forum was opened by Meg Coates, Joint Publisher & Head of Operations and Sophie Jackson, Joint Publisher & Head of Strategic Content, who introduced the Women in Treasury initiative and presented the results of the most recent Women in Treasury Annual Global Study. The panel discussion was facilitated by Sophie Jackson and the lively and thought provoking debate included topics such as mentoring, mobility and the value of building a strong and diverse team.
Following the panel discussion, an energetic and enthusiastic question and answer session took place, with many questions raised by the audience. This gave the panel the opportunity to share further insights from their own careers and the challenges they have faced and overcome.
Speaking about the success of this year’s panel, Sophie Jackson said, “I’m delighted that 2018 was our busiest forum yet in Singapore, a special place where women in treasury continue to enjoy great representation and fantastic careers.”
