Transforming the finance function to deliver the organisation's strategy
Tuesday 24th June, 2-5 pm, CFDG, London
Melvin Coleman, Finance Director, Amnesty International UK
As FD Melvin Coleman has led Amnesty International UK's Finance Function through significant change over the last 10 years. This has included changes to the structure, processes and skills within the function to deliver greater efficiency and more value to the organisation. Melvin will talk about the challenges of leading change, gathering information to inform the process, and developing skills and technology.
