If you want to build a successful treasury career, it’s good to learn from other treasurers, hear their stories, and listen to their advice, which is why I invited John Fulton, the former Interim Group Treasurer at Kantar, to join me on this episode of the Treasury Career Corner podcast.

John has 20 years of senior leadership global finance roles in public and private companies across developed and emerging markets. He is a dynamic and creative thinker and leader with an enviable corporate treasury track record of deal execution.

  • What treasurers can learn from the COVID-19 crisis
  • A look at John’s recruitment process and what he looks for in candidates
