Treasury Round Tables: Real Conversations, Real Challenges, Now Expanded

The video announces the launch and rapid expansion of Treasury Round Tables, a peer‑driven forum where senior treasurers convene to discuss their most pressing challenges. Hosted initially in London and then New York, the sessions are structured around participant‑selected topics—technology, talent, and debt capital raising—allowing the group to vote on the biggest issue and collectively brainstorm solutions. Organizers emphasize a hands‑on format: each treasurer presents a single, critical problem, the room votes on which to tackle, and the collective expertise is leveraged to devise actionable recommendations. Feedback highlighted the value of real‑time peer insight, with attendees reporting heightened confidence in decision‑making and avoidance of costly missteps. A standout anecdote features a treasurer on the cusp of selecting a new treasury system who, after hearing peers’ perspectives, chose to pause and reassess the vendor choice—potentially averting a significant error. Attendance numbers grew from 24 participants in London to 36 in New York, with an additional 100+ joining evening networking, underscoring strong demand. The initiative’s next phase aims to double capacity, extending round‑table hours and replicating the model across both cities with support from law firm Herbert Smith. By scaling peer collaboration, the program promises to sharpen treasury strategy, reduce procurement risk, and foster a community of best‑practice sharing among senior finance leaders.
