We’ve reached back into our archives to bring you another brilliant episode from January 2020. This time around we’re looking back at our conversation with Todd Yoder, Senior Managing Director of Global Treasury, Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR).

We had a fantastic conversation with him about his work ethic, how he got started in treasury and the principles he’s used to forge his own treasury career. It’s safe to say that he’s learned some valuable lessons that still translate in today’s treasury landscape, and he shares a few key ones in this episode.

Todd serves as Innovation Catalyst for Fluor’s world headquarters, is an alum of Fluor’s Innovation Unwrapped program and has led numerous treasury and finance-related technology projects.

Todd began his career in corporate accounting and treasury followed by progressive roles in banking commercial credit, financial planning and analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and more than 15 years in multi-national corporate treasury.
