Speaker: Bryant Lee

Founder and Managing Director

Viking Energy Management

Description: Regardless of corporate structure, failure to quantify and manage risk across operational silos ultimately becomes a problem for the CFO when earnings fall short of expectations.

Specifically, how will the collective impacts of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange, energy, and raw materials impact cash flow and earnings? Viking Risk Management’s Bryant Lee will review the essential elements of a sound risk strategy and then open the forum up to address specific questions about your company’s potential exposures and commodity risk challenges.
