Luke Maclean, Senior Global Treasury Director at CBRE, joins this episode to explore why the future of treasury belongs to people who use AI, not people who fear it.
From automating repetitive work to leading global teams with trust, curiosity, and clarity, Luke shares how treasury professionals can stay valuable in a fast-changing world.
In this episode Mike is joined by Luke Maclean, Senior Global Treasury Director at CBRE.
Luke leads a global treasury function across multiple regions, with teams in Singapore, London, Latin America, and North America. His role covers regional treasury teams, FX, back office, systems, trade finance, and wider treasury operations.
Luke shares his perspective on what modern treasury leadership really requires, from understanding the operational “plumbing” of treasury to building trust across global teams and business functions.
A major focus of the conversation is AI. Luke explains why AI is not the value itself, but a tool that helps treasury teams unlock something far more valuable: their time. He shares how his team is using AI tools such as Claude to automate repetitive tasks, improve reporting, support cash forecasting, and give people more space to focus on strategic work.

Treasury and tax are often treated as separate functions, but when capital, cash, risk, debt, and business strategy are all connected, working in silos can create costly problems.
In this episode, we chat with Robert Westreich, Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Tax Officer at Newell Brands and explore why modern treasury leaders need curiosity, cross-functional awareness, and strong communication to make better decisions for the business.
Robert currently serves as Senior Vice President, Treasurer, and Chief Tax Officer of Newell Brands, where he leads the company’s global tax, treasury, and global business services organizations.
On the podcast Robert shares how his career evolved from tax into treasury, and how intellectual curiosity helped him move across functions, build broader business understanding, and take on increasingly complex leadership responsibilities.
The conversation explores the powerful connection between tax and treasury, particularly around cash movement, capital structure, debt management, repatriation, acquisitions, divestitures, and risk. Robert explains why treasury professionals do not need to become tax experts, but they do need to understand how tax decisions can affect treasury outcomes, and vice versa.
The episode also covers leadership, team empowerment, AI in finance, and practical career advice for treasury professionals at every level.
