Making shared services work for you
Jens Fey, CFO ASEAN, ANZ, Japan & Korea, Bayer

It’s a common complaint of CFOs that shared services, while cost-effective, tends to operate as a discrete silo, detached from the needs and concerns of the business. But Bayer has taken a different approach in this region, and sought to integrated its shared service centre into the core of the organisation. Jen Fey, Bayer’s regional CFO, will lead us through the work he and his team have undertaken to get shared services working for them. Jens has integrated his 300 person share service centre with country Finance teams by creating in-country ‘squads’ to connect with the SSCs and get them thinking as part of the whole business. In addition to extensive Finance experience, Jens has also held general management roles in Bayer, and has worked both in Asia Pacific and Europe.

Additional sessions to be advised.

Members may attend with a member of their Finance team. Luncheon and light refreshments will be served.
