About this episode
I’m thrilled to be joined by Petra Rosenauer, the Head of Corporate Treasury EMEA at Flextronics International (Flex), on this episode of the Treasury Career Corner Podcast.
Founded in 1969, Flextronics was started as a family business, making circuit boards for the growing number of companies in Silicon Valley. Over the past 50 years, they have grown and evolved to be a global Sketch-to-Scale solutions provider and now have approximately 200,000 professionals across 30 countries. They were also named in the top three in Industry Week’s ‘100 Best Managed Companies’ list. In 2007, Flextronics bought long-time competitor Solectron for $3.6 billion and then in 2015, they established Flex as their master brand.
Petra’s role as the Head of Corporate Treasury EMEA at Flextronics International (Flex), embodies a wide range of tasks including assessing, reviewing and protecting the company’s financial wellbeing. She also ensures that the company’s cash flow is adequate to allow it to operate effectively, supervising the activities of the Cash & Bank Group, carrying out risk management activities, and much more.
