“A CFO Leading with Purpose."

Gina McNamara is the CFO of SAP Australia & NZ. Having qualified as a Chartered Accountant after starting her career in public practice Gina moved into a finance role in the IT industry and loves the sector. As a CFO making a genuine difference at SAP, we will be exploring how she has gone about this, and specifically, engaging her people with purpose in order to make a bigger impact as a team and at an individual level.

For background, Gina cares passionately about empowering people to do their best work with the firm belief that there is the way to sustainable business success. She is an active promoter of diversity and inclusion initiatives both within SAP and more broadly across the finance and IT sectors. Adding to this, she is also eager to move the conversation on Corporate Social Responsibility from being one about compliance to one about purpose at both an individual and organizational level...

Together with Sue Rosen, they explored:

• How diversity and inclusion issues impact the whole finance team
• The challenges facing women in male dominatedfunctions / industries
• How to engage with corporate social responsibility (CSR)
• How to connect personal purpose with organisational purpose
