On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — sponsored by Intrafi Network — Philipson discusses findings from U.S. Bank’s 2022 CFO Insights Report, among them:
- CFOs’ transition from growth mode to risk management mode in 2022.
- How large and middle-market firms are balancing the pressures of inflation and talent recruitment and retention.
- Why corporates are stepping back to re-evaluate the role of environmental factors in ESG activities.
- How banks can design products to address corporates’ concerns on talent, inflation, digital transformation and more.
