Picking a CFO’s Brain

Have you ever wanted to have a group of senior public sector financial leaders in the same room and just have at them with questions?

Well the fmi*igf South-East New Brunswick Chapter is giving you the chance to do just that. We have convened an excellent panel of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) from the Federal government who will provide insights into their daily lives and what keeps them up at night – the challenges, opportunities, emerging trends, and how they deal with them.

Our wonderful panelists are:

• Jen O’Donoughue, Assistant Deputy Minister and Chief Financial Officer of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
• Arun Thangaraj, Assistant Deputy Minister, Corporate Planning, Finance and Information Technology of Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
• Philippe Thompson, Chief Financial, Results and Delivery Officer of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)
• Stéphane Lagacé, Chief Financial Officer of Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)

The panel will be moderated by Janic Godin, who has more than 20 years of experience working as an MC and facilitator in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere in the country.

Come and learn from these great leaders and bring your questions – another opportunity like this one might be a long time coming!!!

We will be using Slido to help facilitate our interactive Q&A, collect your questions in advance and hear your feedback via live polls. To send your questions, please click https://app.sli.do/event/tcvijljk/live/questions or go to www.slido.com and enter #FMI_CFO.
