About the Program
In today’s volatile business environment, Chief Financial Officers (“CFOs”) are expected to make high-impact decisions with incomplete information, limited resources, and rapidly shifting conditions. This interactive session brings together finance leaders, strategists, and decision science experts to explore practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty with confidence. Through real world stories, scenario debates, and group participation, the panel will unpack how to evaluate strategic options, manage risk, mitigate cognitive biases, and communicate effectively with stakeholders when the path forward is anything but clear. Participants will walk away with actionable tools and mindsets for making sound decisions—even when ambiguity is unavoidable.

- Moderator: Rebekah Edwards, Independent Advisor; Co-Founder, R&B Advisory Solutions, LLC
- Alexis R. DeSieno, former CFO, Cardlytics
- Brad Dickerson, Executive Advisor and Board Member
- Oksana Markuta, MBA, Independent Investment Advisor
