Following the success of CFO Connect Qatar earlier this year, financial leaders in Kuwait are preparing for a landmark event—CFO Connect Kuwait. Supported by CA Kuwait and Gulf Insurance Group, the forum will bring together leading CFOs and finance professionals in the region, creating a pivotal platform for collaboration and innovation as Kuwait’s economy navigates rapid transformation.
Kuwait’s current economic shift is largely fueled by high oil prices and increased government expenditure. While this provides an optimistic outlook, it is balanced by challenges such as rising global inflation and market volatility. These conditions are forcing the traditional role of CFOs to evolve, with finance leaders now taking on strategic roles that go beyond just managing numbers to guiding organizations through uncertainty and fostering long-term growth.
CFO Connect Kuwait will address these changes head-on, offering a collaborative space for financial leaders to exchange knowledge and insights. Attendees will engage with key issues and strategies necessary for driving sustainable success in today’s complex economic environment.
Leila Masinaei, Managing Partner of Great Minds Event Management, highlighted the importance of the gathering, saying: “CFO Connect Kuwait represents a critical convergence of financial leadership and innovation at a pivotal moment for the region’s economy.
This forum is designed to empower CFOs with transformative insights and strategies to not only navigate the complexities of today’s economic climate but also to shape the future of finance in Kuwait. Our mission is to catalyze collaboration, drive strategic thinking, and redefine the role of the CFO as a key architect of sustainable growth and resilience.”
The forum will present a comprehensive program, delving into critical topics like managing inflation, digital transformation, and leveraging data for smarter decision-making. A key theme will be the emergence of sustainability-focused CFOs, with discussions centered on how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are influencing financial strategies.
In addition, sessions on risk management and cybersecurity will equip attendees with tools to protect their organizations from financial and digital threats. The future impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on financial operations and the CFO role will also be explored, showcasing how AI is transforming the industry.
A dedicated exhibition will display cutting-edge technologies and solutions tailored to support the evolving responsibilities of CFOs. Attendees will also have networking opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and establish meaningful professional relationships.
Confirmed speakers include Ajai Thomas, CFO of Kuwait International Bank; Haytham Zreiqi, CFO of Gulf Insurance Group; and Jacob Gomez, CFO of Alghanim Healthcare. These experts will offer critical insights and advice to help financial leaders navigate the future of financial leadership in Kuwait.
CFO Connect Kuwait is set to be a vital event for finance professionals seeking to stay ahead of Kuwait’s evolving economic landscape and drive their organizations toward sustainable success.
