About Programme

Today’s CFOs are expected to do far more than oversee financial performance. They play a critical role in shaping strategy, leading transformation, navigating uncertainty, and creating sustainable value—partnering with CEOs, executive teams, and boards to drive enterprise-wide growth and long-term competitiveness. Increasingly, CFOs are expected to operate as enterprise leaders, shaping strategic decisions and influencing the future direction of their organizations.

Developed with the counsel of leading global CFOs, CFO recruiters, and industry experts, the Global CFO Program is designed for experienced finance leaders with significant decision-making responsibility in companies with international operations and enterprise-scale complexity. The program brings together leading academic and practitioner faculty in a unique transatlantic learning experience that combines residential modules in New York City and Madrid with online sessions between modules. Participants develop the capabilities required to lead enterprise transformation, drive value creation, and succeed in increasingly complex global organizations.
