Episode Title:- 🇬🇧 ‘Trailblazing Financial Independence for Women’ 🇬🇧

🇬🇧 An unmissable episode of #HeadsTalk. In this 25th episode of #HeadsTalk, I had a virtual fireside chat with a trailblazing woman that needs no introduction. She is a pioneer who modernised the role of the First Lady in British politics. Her entrepreneurial nous aided her in this process and came into play again when she started her foundation, which we discussed in this episode.  

@Cherie Blair CBE (Cherie Booth QC) has been at the top of her game throughout her life and now is on a mission to get as many women from around the globe to become financially independent. A must listen to candid conversation about the topics of the day. Take a look at the work Cherie and her team are doing in her foundation. Links below. We even had time to talk about a visit to Switzerland🇨🇭 that was hampered due to the pandemic and her husband’s cooking skills.

Episode Title - 🇩🇰’The CFO Strikes Back!’🇩🇰
 
In this episode of #HeadsTalk, it’s all about the finance function (FF) and the rebranding of the CFO. There is an internal battle in this digital age at the CSuite's Executive table and I for one am fascinated by the contrasting views on the topic. Anders Liu Lindberg, CFO, Partner, CMO, COO of BPI, provides us with his analysis of the state of play. A regular article contributor on #LinkedIn itself as well as a keynote speaker at the largest CFO conference in Scandinavia, Anders imparts his 15+ years knowledge, experience & guidance in this area. He talks about why the CFO should have the ear of the CEO & the role the FF must have in this digital age & beyond.

Episode Title:- 🇺🇸 ‘We Just did! 46’ 🇺🇸
 
Aptly timed for the inauguration on Wednesday 20th Jan, it’s all about politics on #HeadsTalk. 🇺🇸 Ambassador @Suzi LeVine who has worked in the heart of the Obama Administration, fabulously dissected the process that led to a Trump victory in 2016 and what the future holds with a Biden administration. She talks about the diversity of thought, background, gender, race, beliefs that now will pepper the White House. Interesting times ahead! If you are asking yourself why the polls tend to gets it wrong, have a listen to Suzi’s diagnosis and argumentation and in the process gain some insights. 

Suzi gave a comparison between the🇨🇭Swiss democratic process and the 🇺🇸 US. Fascinating episode and one for a further debate.
