Letter From the Editor – Fall 2025

The Financial Executives Networking Group is pleased with the continued success of the Financial Executives Journal, an online publication dedicated to industry thought leadership, career growth, and professional development.

Featured Spotlight

The current edition spotlights The Risk Awakening: Risk Management for the 21st Century.

Risk Management is not just for compliance and regulatory departments.  With a background in the highly regulated financial services industry and experience serving on risk management committees, I am well versed as a senior financial professional in looking at risk through a multi-dimensional lens.  Today now more than ever, as CFOs where multiple hats, they have to be aware of the never-ending risks that impact businesses and organizations encompassing financial, strategic, operational, technological, regulatory, and reputational risks.

Risk management transcends industry boundaries and should be embedded throughout an organization as a foundational element for achieving sustained success. This spotlight will explore approaches to risk management, systematic methodologies and the latest trends to equip you with the knowledge and tools to mitigate risk and strengthen success.
