The pace of digital transformation, an uncertain economic outlook, and evolution of business management techniques, have altered a CFO's (Chief Financial Officer) role in MENA and world over, from being just "number crunchers" to strategic advisors playing a key role in enterprise decisions. Aiming to help business leaders adapt to this changing landscape, Naseba is organizing the 10th CFO Strategies Forum MENA on November 6-7, 2016 at Sofitel, The Palm in Dubai. Held under the theme of "Prepare, transform and grow your business", the event acts as a platform to discuss various opportunities and challenges that CFOs face in the current economic climate, and how they can tackle them.
