Fire Chat with Lee Cockerel, ex Executive Vice President, Operation at Walt Disney World Resort
12 March 2025
1:00 PM — 2:20 PM CET
Following our initial session on the shifting landscape of finance, we are diving deeper. As the function transitions from back-office support to a strategic, analytics-driven powerhouse, how do the world’s most iconic brands actually operationalise this change?
Join us for an exclusive Fireside Chat with The Walt Disney Company.
We will move beyond the theory to explore the real-world application of talent strategy in a high-growth, creative, and data-heavy environment. This is your opportunity to learn how to bridge the gap between financial acumen and storytelling.
