Route to CFO in Consumer Finance

For many Finance leaders working within consumer businesses, the step from Number Two to CFO can feel unclear.
What experience truly matters?
When is the right moment to make the move?
And how do you position yourself for the opportunity when it arises?
At this event, we’re bringing together two CFOs who have built their careers within the consumer sector to share their journeys and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
Drawing on their experience leading finance functions in consumer businesses, they’ll discuss the realities of scaling companies, partnering with commercial teams, and ultimately stepping into the CFO role.
Hosted by Eve Waddingham, the conversation will explore the practical side of career progression, from the skills and mindset required to operate at CFO level, to the key decisions and experiences that helped shape their path.
Designed for Heads of Finance, Financial Controllers, Heads of Commercial Finance and FP&A leaders working within consumer businesses, this session offers the opportunity to hear directly from CFOs who have successfully made the transition.
Beyond the discussion, the morning is also about connection.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet peers from across the consumer finance community and become part of Tenzing Search’s Consumer Finance network, a curated group of finance leaders sharing insights, challenges and opportunities at every stage of their careers.
