Discover how to be global, not just international.
Despite all the volatility in the global markets, companies in the Americas are relatively upbeat about moving forward. Growth markets are a big focus for those in search for new opportunities, but equally important are the basics at home, such as putting the right technology in place to handle the multiple risks that a multinational faces. Finally, treasurers are remaining highly visible within the corporation and this is allowing them to embark on more strategic projects.
