“As someone who’s regularly involved in the valuation of intangible assets, I’m often asked which intangible asset is the most valuable to a company. I’ve always believed that it’s the people.”

People are assets, not expenses. That is the theme of The NEW ROI Series.
That is also the theme of this short TedEx style talk that was recorded at the Finance Innovation and Excellence (FInEx) Summit 2021.
I was honored to be included among an outstanding list of 18 global speakers to share ideas to help Finance Executives, as demands of stakeholders change and increase in both speed and complexity.
This talk also won a FInEx Award for the category of Most Impactful Catch Phrase: “People are assets; not expenses.”
