CFO Weekly
Artificial Intelligence and the Evolution of the CFO w/ John Collins
April 20, 2021
It’s no secret that technology is moving faster than ever before. It seems like every day there’s a new company or a new product that is at the cutting edge of innovation, leaving all of the previous advancements in the dust. And at the forefront of all of that innovation is artificial intelligence. AI and machine learning are moving the world forward in ways that none of us ever could have imagined. If you really stand back and take a look at your life, you’d be amazed at how present AI actually is. But what does AI have to do with the finance industry, and how have AI and automation contributed to the evolution of the role of CFO? On this episode of CFO Weekly, we get a chance to sit down with John Collins. John is the Chief Financial Officer at LivePerson, a cloud based platform utilizing AI that allows companies to converse with customers through messaging. Though the conversation included a lot of discussion about John’s background, and his path to CFO, the real highlight was the discussion on AI and its continued contribution to the evolution of the role of CFO, and how CFOs can leverage and integrate AI into their current landscape.
