Amanda Hobson is an award-winning strategic and results oriented finance leader with more than 20 years’ experience in large and international public companies specialising in finance, treasury, investor relations, foreign exchange and interest rate risk management. She is presently the SVP, Investor Relations & Treasury at Finning International. 

In this episode, Amanda shares the experiences and learning she’s gleaned as a Finance leader tasked with supporting organisations in the midst of widespread market disruption. It’s rather relevant given our present (quarantined)  circumstances.

She discusses the importance of investing in human resources and technology shares her thoughts on the importance of building business cases that achieve meaningful impact and not only financial returns. She’s candid when emphasising that motivating and engaging the teams is, in her own words “an incredibly rewarding experience”.
