Susan Cosgrove, CFO

New technologies, such as distributed ledgers, artificial intelligence and robotics, will continue to be important themes in 2020. For market infrastructures, when new technologies are adopted in a thoughtful manner for the appropriate post-trade processes, there are multiple benefits, including increased operational efficiency, reduced risk and cost and increased client value.

I believe that CFOs have an important strategic role to play when it comes to the adoption of new technologies because we have the skillset to strike the right balance between innovation and financially-sound decision-making.

For innovative market infrastructures, I expect to see the role of CFO in the adoption of technology strategies to grow in the coming years as firms closely evaluate business cases and financial investments.
