This episode, Tom is joined by Kyriba’s CMO, April Moh, at Kyriba’s KLX Paris event. They sit down with John Colleemallay, Senior Director of Group Treasury and Financing at Dassault Systemes to discuss how John leverages innovation and strategic partnerships to drive cash culture and financial stability. They also delve into the role of treasury, exploring strategies for sustaining corporate growth and highlighting the importance of adaptability in a rapidly evolving world.

John:

“My job, if I've been doing that for more than 25 years, it's probably because I've been excited about the job. How do I transmit this excitement to a five-year-old kid? How do I make the kid dream? Treasury is for me a world which is constantly moving. Treasury is not about accounting. Treasury is about innovation. Treasury is about the world changing every day. You wake up in the morning, you don't know what you're going to do. Something has changed. And this is what is exciting about treasury? A five-year-old kid, you would need to say, okay, my job is to make your dreams come true. My job is to give you the opportunity to grow. This is what we do for the company. We give the company the opportunity to grow. And you need to find words to explain this to your kid, a five-year-old kid, how do I buy you the next big toy? Manage your liquidity to make your dreams come true.”
