TESTIMONIALS. THANKS. “Having attended the first CFO South Africa event in Cape Town in 2012 it has been exceedingly encouraging to see CFO South Africa evolve into the community it has. The latest event incorporated high quality roundtable discussions; topical and informative speakers; and was well attended by a broad spectrum of like-minded colleagues. CFO South Africa events are hard-coded into my diary.“ Peter Walsh, CFO Servest. “I fully support CFO South Africa’s mission to connect the country’s finance leaders as this is critical for the continued growth and employment opportunities in our country. This programme has been key in facilitating sharing of strategies and identify key future focus areas.” Deon Fredericks, Group CFO Telkom “CFO South Africa has filled a gap in the CFO community by serving as a platform for development, networking and recognition.” Imraan Soomra, CFO Oceana “High quality, high profile CFO event. A suberb opportunity to network and share ideas. Thumbs up CFO SA, will definitely attend the next event.” Brett Tromp, CFO Discovery Health “CFO South Africa is fast being recognised as a high quality association, providing relevant and challenging information sessions and networking opportunities with similar financial officers in a very professional environment.”Mark Godfrey, CFO SPAR Group “The CFO forum events are enlightening, cathartic even as you learn and share with peers and colleagues. We do not often take time out during the day to network, share and learn from each other. Thank you for making this possible and helping ensure we make the time to work together. I have no doubt this type of engagement and interaction will take the CFO role and finance profession further.” Jo-Ann Pohl, CFO Africa Telesure
