CFO THOUGHT LEADER

Having been a software entrepreneur, technology investor and restructuring advisor, Steffen Parratt says his divergent career has long been fueled by technology transformation, a pairing that would ultimately lead him to the CFO office of KCG Holdings, Inc. , a financial services firm specializing in market making and high frequency trading.  Join us when Steffen charts his path from engineering PHD to restructuring agent to finance leader, and shares his technology-driven vision for the future of finance.

As a CFO, Ken Østreng has been highly visible across his Nordic-based firm’s multinational operations. Whether he was identifying international acquisition targets or new incentives to help drive sales, he became one of Confirmit’s “go-to” leaders, and in the minds of management the natural successor to Confirmit’s CEO Henning Hansen. And, so when Henning recently announced he would this spring  be ending his 12-year-tenure as Confimit’s CEO, there was little surprise when it was announced that Østreng would be garnering the top spot.

It was ten years ago when Larry Begley last exited the CFO office to dedicate his days to building an early stage venture capital firm.  After four tours of duty as a finance leader for different entities, the finance leader's future career aspirations would be more than satisfied by building a successful VC firm. Or would they? Join us when Larry Begley a serial operations executive, venture capitalist, board member and CFO explains the unique challenges and market opportunities that led him to enter the CFO office of CloudHealth Technologies.
