Happy Hour Roundtable: Breaking through with your CFO

_Breaking through with your CFO_ As a marketing leader, you have many stakeholders within your company that can help or hinder your marketing objectives.  We often focus a lot on the CEO/Founder, but experience shows, the CEO/Founder is already a big advocate of Marketing, so much so your role is often to rein them in.  The CFO, on the other hand is usually not predestined to be a marketing advocate.  The CFO’s job is to be the ultimate pragmatist and demand everything must be measured daily if possible. In the constant battle for budget and freedom to experiment with new and exciting branding or demand gen tactics, you must have the CFO in your corner or face a never-ending battle of red tape and obstruction.  Contrary to common thought, your CFO can and should be a marketing advocate…once you start speaking the same language. Join us to learn how: 1.     CFOs can make or break your success as a Marketer 2.     How to align with the objectives of your CFO when all of your metrics aren’t quantitative 3.     How to turn your CFO into a marketing advocate Speaker-led Discussion with: ANDREW NESTER, CMO, NUIX. At the core, Andrew connects customers with Nuix by showcasing how their solutions help to solve the most difficult data challenges of today.
