Featuring:
Emily Cornock - Suncorp Group

These experts share how they tackle the shift from simple cost-cutting to value-showing. From drafting elevator value pitches to consistent executive involvement, these stories and strategies are guaranteed to get you thinking about the value of FinOps.
Here’s what we talked about:
