 | | The Latin American CFOs' Executive Program | The job of financial leaders has evolved to mean much more than strictly crunching numbers. Finance officers today have to perform a number of roles from business partner, to strategic thinker, effective communicator, moral conscience, and risk manager. Conducting business in Latin America also presents its own unique challenges and opportunities. With this changing landscape in mind, Chicago Booth has developed a program in collaboration with Seminarium Internacional exclusively designed for upper to senior-level financial executives based in Latin America.
Now more than ever, it is critical for business leaders to truly understand the risks and opportunities of the current global economy. This program is designed to complement, strengthen and refresh your financial management and leadership skills essential for decision making, implementing effective strategies and adding value to your company. Drawing upon Chicago Booth's world-renowned faculty in finance, their latest research and the University's cutting-edged resources, this program will develop your professional career, improving your personal performance as well as the results of your organization.
Program Dates and Fees | August 26-30, 2013 | $8,295.00 |
