Letter From the Editor

The Financial Executives Networking Group is proud to launch the Financial Executives Journal, an online publication dedicated to industry thought leadership, career growth, and professional development.

This initial publication launch spotlights “The Power of AI and Process Automation Across the Financial Industry.” We focus on conveying diverse industry and cross-functional perspectives from industry leaders, proud sponsors, and members.   

Our online publication is intended to bring thought leadership and industry trends to the forefront and to provide a 360-degree perspective to keep you up-to-date on key developments and trends in this fast-moving and competitive landscape.

In addition to thought leadership we provide “food for thought” regarding career management and professional development and upskilling.

Our online publication will focus on different industry trends throughout the year, such as FP&A and Data-Informed Story-telling, Private Equity and M&A Trends, and Navigating the Tax Landscape.

All this in an interactive journal. Please join us in fostering a community of thought leadership by engaging with and sharing this publication. I would also like to offer a one-time complementary opportunity for you to contribute a thought leadership piece on “The Power of AI and Process Automation Across the Financial Industry,” or another future topic. 

To contribute a thought leadership piece or to discuss mutually beneficial promotional programs and sponsorships, please contact me at  lynngargano@thefeng.org or Joyce Gibney, Co-Editor at joycegibney@thefeng.org.

I invite you to visit The Financial Executives Networking Group website to learn more about becoming a member of the largest financial executives networking group.

To our Authors, Contributors, Business Development Committee and Team, thank you for your support and efforts. Your valuable insights help navigate the dynamic landscape of financial leadership, ensuring leaders remain at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.

Sincerely,
Lynn Gargano

Lynn Gargano

I am an accomplished, committed Senior Financial Leader/CFO with an analytical, intuitive and entrepreneurial mindset. I have extensive experience in financial services with a focus in Asset Management, Wealth Management and Supporting Investment Advisors.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with Product, Sales, Investment, Technology and Regional and Global Teams. My cross-functional collaboration, and Big “4” public accounting experience, has helped me to build my extensive skill set in finance, accounting, executive and financial reporting, strategic business partnering, financial planning and analysis and finance transformation. It has also contributed to my ability to break down silos, to bring together disparate data, cross-functions and priorities, to create data-informed narratives to drive results in asset and sales growth, revenue growth, strategic decision making, financial planning and forecasting and identify business at risk.

I have been a member of multiple committees including Risk Management, Product, Executive Committee and Board. I am active in industry activities serving as volunteer chair for The FENG Business Development Committee, Editor of the Financial Executives Journal, Chair of Asset Management Career Group and Member of the Private Directors Association NY Metro Chapter Committee.

  1. Thought leadership might include how are we going to keep accounting jobs in the US and how are we going to develop our young people. AI does not pay taxes or buy things. People do. What are we doing for young accounting and financial people? What are we doing to keep jobs stateside?
