The Executive Social: Topgolf for CFOs
Many of a CFO’s biggest calls end up on Legal’s desk too. The deal terms, the risk you’re willing to carry, what goes in front of the board. It helps to talk those through with peers outside your own company, and with General Counsel who see the same decisions from the other side.
Join Murray and Yvonne Newlands for a relaxed Friday afternoon at Topgolf with CFOs from across the Bay Area, joined by General Counsel from our GC Forum. This is a small, informal gathering. No panel, no slides and no presentations. We’ll make introductions, then leave plenty of time for golf and conversation.
No golf experience is needed, and beginners are welcome. Come on your own, or bring your General Counsel along. They’ll just need to register too.
What to expect
Time with fellow CFOs who are working through the same pressures you are
A chance to hear how General Counsel think about the decisions you share with them
Introductions from Murray and Yvonne, so you’re never standing alone at a bay
A low-key way to end the week, with no pitching and no agenda to sit through
Who can attend
This page is for current, full-time, in-house Chief Financial Officers.
To keep the conversation peer to peer, this one isn’t open to fractional CFOs, consultants, advisory or accounting firms, outsourced finance providers or vendors. We review every registration and will be in touch to confirm your spot.
