Global Finance Careers: Insights from Alumni with CFA Background

Finance careers are becoming increasingly global, with professionals expected to combine strong technical expertise with leadership skills, international exposure, and strategic perspective. This online webinar brings together CFA professionals who are also alumni of the INSEAD Executive Master in Finance (EMFin) to share their real‑world career journeys across different regions from Asia to Europe. Drawing on their experiences in different markets and roles, the panel will explore how professional qualifications such as the CFA Programme can be complemented by executive education to support long‑term career development. Through an interactive discussion, speakers will reflect on their career decisions, international transitions, and the skills that have proven most valuable as they progressed into more senior or global roles. The session will also highlight how combining the CFA with a globally focused executive programme like INSEAD EMFin can help finance professionals broaden their perspective, strengthen leadership capabilities, and navigate an evolving global finance landscape. This webinar is particularly relevant for CFA candidates and charterholders, as well as finance professionals considering the next stage of their career.
