What does it really mean to invent in treasury – and how is that different from simply innovating?

In this episode of Treasury Storyteller, Eleanor Hill is joined by Tanya Kohen, Global Head of Finance Practice at Wave Access, to explore the mindset shift from incremental improvement to true invention. Drawing on more than 20 years of treasury experience across industries and geographies, Tanya shares how scaling fast-growing organisations shaped her thinking about technology, process design and structural problem-solving.

Together, they unpack the difference between innovation and invention, the role of AI and agentic tools in execution rather than hype, and why the next wave of progress in treasury will come from cross-functional collaboration. From building an in-house supply chain finance platform to rethinking how teams approach everyday bottlenecks, this is a conversation about curiosity, courage and cultivating “invention mode” inside the finance function.

If you’re wondering how to move your team beyond efficiency and into possibility, this episode is for you.
